*The golem is the forest's guardian.*
**[00:55] go**
* It exists to protect the forest*
* and enable its continued survival.*
**[01:00] go**
*On its patrols, it observes plants, animals,*
**[01:04] ---**
*and all life that exists there.*
**[01:08] go**
*It does not interfere in food chains.*
**[01:12] go**
* It simply oversees nature*
* in its own dispensation.*
**[01:17] go**
* The forest is a place where*
* life is born and nurtured...*
**[01:22] go**
*Before, in time, it returns to the earth.*
**[01:27] go**
*The forest has laws.*
**[01:29] go**
* I will spend a thousand years in the forest*
* as an enforcer of those laws,*
**[01:34] go**
* and when my time comes,*
* I will return to the forest.*
**[01:37] go**
* I never doubted that this was*
* the purpose of my existence...*
**[01:43] go**
*until that day.*
**[01:51] go**
Understood.
**[02:11] go**
A human child?
**[02:15] girl**
D... Dad.
**[02:24] golem**
*It called me "Dad."*

Hey! Wait!
**[04:13] soma**
Stop!
**[04:28] soma**
Wait, you!
**[04:29] soma**
Get back here, bunny!
**[04:31] soma**
Wait!
**[04:33] dad**
I appreciate your help.
**[04:34] soma**
Hey! Wait!
**[04:35] dad**
There you are, Somali.
**[04:38] soma**
Dad!
**[04:42] dad**
You were told to remain within sight.
**[04:46] soma**
There was a butterfly,
and it got away from me,
**[04:48] soma**
but then I saw a bunny
and I wanted to get it—
**[04:51] dad**
We must not be separated while traveling.
**[04:54] dad**
You must remain within my line of sight.
**[04:59] soma**
Not *all* the time, though!
**[05:04] soma**
Bunny!
**[05:09] soma**
Dad!
**[05:10] soma**
A city!
**[05:11] soma**
I see a city!
**[05:18] merch**
Come one, come all!
**[05:21] merch**
I owe you big for last time!
**[05:23] merch**
Think nothing of it.
**[05:24] merch**
Why, hello there!
**[05:26] merch**
Thank you for all your help...
**[05:28] kid**
I wanna go already!
**[05:32] soma**
This is a big city, huh, Dad?
**[05:34] dad**
It does appear more prosperous than
previous cities we have encountered.
**[05:39] dad**
Greater prosperity brings greater dangers.
**[05:41] dad**
We must exercise caution—
**[05:43] soma**
Cat!
**[05:44] soma**
Hey, cat!
**[05:45] soma**
C'mon!
**[05:46] dad**
Somali.
**[05:50] soma**
Dad...
**[05:51] soma**
I'm hungry.
**[06:02] soma**
Food time! Food time!
**[06:04] wait**
Here we are!
**[06:06] wait**
Today's special.
**[06:08] wait**
Rice-stuffed lanternfish!
**[06:11] dad**
This dish contains all required nutrients.
**[06:14] dad**
Consume it in its entirety.
**[06:26] dad**
What is it?
**[06:27] soma**
It's really good!
**[06:28] soma**
You have some too, Dad!
**[06:30] dad**
Unnecessary.
**[06:31] dad**
Golems require only oxygen,
sunlight, and water to function.
**[06:36] wait**
Golems?
**[06:38] wait**
Are you a golem, sir?
**[06:40] dad**
Correct.
**[06:42] man**
Well, isn't that unusual!
**[06:43] man**
I've never seen one before.
**[06:45] frog**
A golem? Well, that's a surprise!
**[06:48] frog**
I thought you folks never left your forests.
**[06:51] frog**
And there's a kid with you, at that...
**[06:53] frog**
What is the little one, anyway?
**[06:56] dad**
The minotaur clan.
**[06:58] frog**
Oh, I see now!
**[07:00] frog**
Look at those cute little horns!
**[07:02] wait**
And what brings you fine travelers here?
**[07:07] dad**
Searching for humans.
**[07:09] wait**
Humans?
**[07:10] dad**
We are on a journey in search of humans.
**[07:17] wait**
Well, have you seen any humans?
**[07:20] frog**
That's quite a question...
**[07:21] frog**
They carried them in the market
not too long ago, right?
**[07:25] man**
Humans, eh?
**[07:26] man**
They made for good eating, didn't they?
**[07:29] man**
I'd love to have one again!
**[07:31] man**
Refresh my memory.
**[07:32] man**
What happened to all the humans, again?
**[07:35] wait**
Ahem.
**[07:36] wait**
It was long, long ago.
**[07:40] wait**
We and the humans lived in distant lands,
**[07:43] wait**
unaware of each other's existence.
**[07:47] wait**
It was the arrival of a lone
human in one of our villages
**[07:52] ---**
that caused our peoples to meet.
**[07:55] wait**
Though surprised at first, we gradually
came to know each other,
**[07:58] wait**
and we began to intermingle.
**[08:02] wait**
But the humans called us "Grotesques"
and said the strangest things...
**[08:08] wait**
"Why do you all look so different?"
**[08:11] wait**
"Some of you have many eyes,
some have scales like snakes...
**[08:15] ---**
How monstrous you are!"
**[08:18] wait**
We were left at a loss.
**[08:20] wait**
Why were humans so difficult to please?
**[08:23] wait**
They judged our appearances,
**[08:25] wait**
and despite being physically weak,
they were stubborn and quick to anger...
**[08:30] wait**
Such sentiment soon spread in waves.
**[08:32] wait**
Quarrels broke out between us and the humans.
**[08:35] wait**
Soon, a great war broke out.
**[08:39] wait**
Weak as they were, the humans
were defeated in a flash,
**[08:43] wait**
and before we knew it, they were all gone.
**[08:47] wait**
And thus, we achieved a peaceful
world free of humans.
**[08:52] man**
The story of how it all started, eh?
**[08:55] man**
I remember the old human hunts,
searching out pockets of survivors...
**[08:58] man**
Yeah, keeping 'em as pets and eating 'em up.
**[09:01] frog**
But they're all gone now, surely.
**[09:04] frog**
We're the only ones living here now.
**[09:10] wait**
Oh? All finished?
**[09:12] dad**
Yes.
**[09:13] frog**
Where will you be spending the night?
**[09:16] dad**
In the open.
**[09:17] man**
You sure you want to do that?
**[09:19] man**
It's not safe! You've got a kid with you!
**[09:22] frog**
I know a nice inn.
**[09:24] frog**
Please, get a room in town!
**[09:25] dad**
That will not be—
**[09:28] som**
Dad, can we stay in an inn?
**[09:31] som**
Can we?!
**[09:35] som**
Yay, a room!
**[09:39] som**
This bed is so soft!
**[09:45] dad**
Staying here was not in the plan,
**[09:48] dad**
but we do what we must.
**[09:55] dad**
What are you doing?
**[09:56] som**
Exploring!
**[09:58] dad**
An inexplicable behavior.
**[10:00] som**
I'm so glad we got a room, Dad!
**[10:04] som**
This is so much fun!
**[10:05] dad**
Is it?
**[10:06] som**
You aren't having fun, Dad?
**[10:09] dad**
Golems lack emotions.
**[10:12] som**
But if it's not fun—
**[10:16] dad**
It would be dangerous to continue
our journey in this state.
**[10:19] som**
Can you fix it?
**[10:21] dad**
Easily.
**[10:22] som**
Great!
**[10:23] som**
Dad's gonna fix it! Dad's gonna fix it!
**[10:27] som**
Dad's gonna—
**[10:30] som**
What?
**[10:32] dad**
Remain quiet and still.
**[10:55] dad**
Just a lodger?
**[11:00] som**
You got scared, Dad!
**[11:03] dad**
Your delight is inscrutable.
**[11:06] dad**
And as I have previously explained,
golems lack emotio—
**[11:10] som**
I saw you get all tense!
**[11:13] som**
You can't fool me!
**[11:17] dad**
Your statement is erroneous.
**[11:19] som**
I saw you! You got scared!
**[11:22] dad**
Our day begins early tomorrow.
**[11:23] dad**
Commence sleep at once.
**[11:25] som**
No way! I'm staying up!
**[11:26] dad**
Request denied.
**[11:27] som**
Denial denied!
**[11:57] som**
My horn's all better!
**[11:59] som**
You're so cool, Dad!
**[12:02] dad**
Exercise caution in your play.
**[12:03] dad**
It may break again.
**[12:05] som**
Thanks a lot, Dad!
**[12:07] dad**
Your gratitude is unnecessary.
**[12:10] som**
Where are we going today?
**[12:13] dad**
To replenish supplies.
**[12:14] som**
We're going shopping?!
**[13:22] kids**
That's so cool! Look!
**[13:51] dad**
Somali.
**[14:09] dad**
Insufficient.
**[14:11] dad**
The last city offered me double that price.
**[14:14] merch**
I'm afraid these stones are
rather common in this area, sir.
**[14:19] merch**
This is more than fair.
**[14:21] dad**
Unacceptable.
**[14:23] dad**
You must offer appropriate compensation.
**[14:25] merch**
You're a tough customer,
**[14:27] merch**
but I just can't give you
much for these stones...
**[14:30] som**
Kitty?
**[14:33] dad**
You leave me with no choice.
**[14:35] man**
Sir, please!
**[14:36] man**
That's a very precious gemstone!
**[14:40] man**
An eye? What?!
**[14:42] dad**
An amorphous substance comprised
primarily of silicate.
**[14:46] dad**
My analysis concludes that it is fake.
**[14:51] merch**
What makes you say that?
**[14:52] dad**
A golem's eye can identify the
structural makeup of anything.
**[14:57] dad**
The gold contained in these
accessories is impure.
**[15:02] dad**
It is an alloy of 78% low-grade
copper and 2% gold pigment.
**[15:08] dad**
Most of the gemstones are glass,
**[15:10] dad**
and the remainder are of poor quality.
**[15:13] dad**
In conclusion, 80% of the goods
in this shop are counterfeit.
**[15:18] dad**
Sir.
**[15:20] dad**
Surely, from my statements,
you can infer my intent.
**[15:32] merch**
Fine, take it!
**[15:36] dad**
Acceptable.
**[15:37] merch**
Now take it and get out!
**[15:40] dad**
This was my intention.
**[15:42] dad**
Somali. Let us go.
**[15:49] dad**
Again?
**[17:18] som**
Hey! Kitty!
**[17:21] som**
Where'd you go, kitty?
**[17:33] som**
D-Dad...
**[17:36] som**
Wh-What was that?!
**[17:39] cat**
I'm right here!
**[17:42] som**
Kitty?
**[17:43] cat**
You okay, kid?
**[17:46] som**
You're not... a cat...
**[17:49] cat**
I figured you'd give up eventually,
**[17:51] cat**
but you actually followed
me all the way here...
**[17:54] cat**
But it'd keep me up at night,
knowing I got you lost.
**[17:59] som**
I'm not lost!
**[18:00] som**
I just don't know where I am!
**[18:02] cat**
That's what it means to be los—
**[18:05] cat**
Purr, purr, purr...
**[18:06] cat**
What are you doi—purr, purr...
**[18:09] som**
Drop it and let me pet you, okay?
**[18:11] cat**
Absolutely not!
**[18:15] cat**
Where'd you come from, anyway?
**[18:17] cat**
This is no place for a kid all alone...
**[18:22] cat**
Y'know, there's something
familiar about how you smell...
**[18:27] cat**
I'm not sure how to put it...
**[18:30] cat**
But you smell...
**[18:32] cat**
utterly...
**[18:35] cat**
delicious.
**[18:45] cat**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[18:48] dad**
Leave this place immediately.
**[18:58] dad**
What is the matter?
**[19:00] som**
I'm happy.
**[19:02] dad**
Why?
**[19:03] som**
Because I knew you'd come, Dad!
**[19:10] dad**
We will return to the inn now.
**[19:12] som**
Okay!
**[19:16] wait**
Welcome, sir!
**[19:17] cat**
Hey, hey!
**[19:18] cat**
I ran into this golem with a kid earlier,
**[19:21] cat**
and he was so scary and mean!
**[19:23] frog**
You were making some mischief, weren't you?
**[19:25] cat**
Was not!
**[19:27] cat**
I just thought the kid
smelled kinda good, is all...
**[19:30] cat**
And when I said that, he just...
**[19:32] frog**
W-Were you ogling that small child?
**[19:37] cat**
N-No way!
**[19:38] wait**
Absolutely disgusting.
**[19:39] cat**
I'm tellin' you, it wasn't that!
**[19:47] dad**
It is fortunate I was able to arrive in time.
**[19:50] dad**
You would have been in danger if
it had realized you were human.
**[19:55] dad**
It appears children have a
tendency to act spontaneously
**[19:59] dad**
when presented with things
that spark their curiosity.
**[20:02] som**
Dad.
**[20:04] dad**
Yes?
**[20:05] som**
How did you know where I was?
**[20:09] dad**
Observation of your behavior.
**[20:11] som**
Observation?
**[20:13] dad**
You only leave my side when something
catches your attention.
**[20:20] dad**
I am incapable of understanding emotion.
**[20:23] dad**
But I am capable of observation and analysis.
**[20:26] dad**
This is my first experience
with a human child,
**[20:28] dad**
so completing this analysis
required some time.
**[20:32] dad**
Still, I cannot abide you getting
lost everywhere we go.
**[20:37] dad**
You are henceforth forbidden from
leaving my side without permission.
**[20:40] soma**
Not *all* the time, though!
**[20:44] dad**
I am left with no choice.
**[20:49] dad**
Take it.
**[20:51] dad**
A behavior learned via observation
of the city's denizens.
**[20:54] dad**
The act of holding hands
**[20:56] ---**
effectively inhibits spontaneous
independent activity.
**[21:00] soma**
Is it okay?
**[21:01] dad**
Yes.
**[21:06] soma**
Like this?
**[21:07] dad**
Only one hand is required.
**[21:10] soma**
Then...
**[21:13] soma**
Like this?
**[21:14] ---**
Yes.
**[21:21] dad**
Let us proceed.
**[21:22] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:25] soma**
Dad! A butterfly!
**[21:28] dad**
I see.
**[21:30] dad**
This is indeed an effective inhibitor
of spontaneous independent activity.
**[21:34] dad**
However, it will limit my
activity as well as yours.
**[21:38] dad**
Seeking a more efficient
method may prove necessary.
**[21:43] som**
But...
**[21:45] som**
I like it this way!
**[21:50] dad**
Do you?
**[21:51] som**
Yeah!
**[21:52] ---**

Somali.

You are awake?

Is it still night?

No.

Edible Herbs and the Oni's Dwelling
**[02:24] som**
Got you!
**[02:28] som**
Dad! I caught breakfast!
**[02:42] dad**
Striking starmaker rocks
together creates fire.
**[02:46] som**
I wanna try!
**[02:48] dad**
Unacceptable.
**[02:50] dad**
We will gather plants at the riverside
until the flame has stabilized.
**[02:56] som**
Fine...
**[03:14] som**
Down the hatch!
**[03:20] dad**
Exercise further caution
during consumption.
**[03:23] som**
No way! It's too good to hold back!
**[03:26] dad**
A sentiment difficult to grasp
for one who lacks a sense of taste.
**[03:30] dad**
What is the matter?
**[03:30] som**
That's the saddest thing I've ever heard...
**[03:32] som**
Never feeling happy, or tasting good
food... there'd be nothing to live for!
**[03:37] dad**
Your statement is an overreaction.
**[03:41] som**
Look! Bunnies!
**[03:43] dad**
Horned rabbits.
**[03:45] dad**
Likely drawn here by the smell of breakfast.
**[03:48] som**
Hey, c'mon! C'mon!
**[03:51] dad**
We will do you no harm.
**[03:53] dad**
You are invited to join us.
**[04:01] som**
It's so warm and sweet and fluffy!
**[04:05] dad**
Forgive the inquiry, but is
there a city in this region?
**[04:11] dad**
I see.
**[04:13] dad**
Just outside this forest, then?
**[04:15] dad**
Understood.
**[04:16] dad**
Thank you.
**[04:18] som**
Dad, you can talk to animals?
**[04:21] dad**
Correct.
**[04:22] dad**
Communicating with animals
to keep order in the forest
**[04:26] ---**
is an ability unique to guardians.
**[04:29] som**
That's amazing!
**[04:34] som**
That's my honey mushroom!
**[04:37] som**
Wait, you! Wait!
**[04:37] dad**
Somali.
**[04:38] dad**
It is dangerous to run on such uneven ground.
**[04:48] dad**
Somali, have you suffered any damage?
**[04:51] som**
Dad.
**[04:52] ---**
What is it?
**[04:53] som**
I'm not an object!
**[04:57] dad**
Then I will rephrase.
**[04:59] dad**
Were you injured?
**[05:00] som**
Nope!
**[05:12] dad**
The wound is deeper than it first appeared.
**[05:16] dad**
Our medicine stores are depleted.
**[05:18] som**
Dad...
**[05:20] som**
It hurts.
**[05:23] som**
It hurts a lot all of a sudden...
**[05:26] shi**
Medicine!
**[05:27] shi**
Say, could anyone here use any medicine?
**[05:32] dad**
You passed by earlier.
**[05:34] dad**
You are a member of the oni clan, correct?
**[05:36] shi**
Aw, heck. You spotted me there, huh?
**[05:39] shi**
I'm the dwarf oni, Shizuno.
**[05:41] shi**
We don't see many golems around these parts.
**[05:47] shi**
That sure looks painful.
**[05:50] shi**
Let's see... It's not too bad, so...
**[05:53] shi**
This should do it!
**[05:55] dad**
What is it?
**[05:56] shi**
Ointment.
**[05:58] shi**
Leave this to me.
**[05:59] shi**
I'm a healer!
**[06:00] shi**
Making medicines from nature
is basically my job.
**[06:05] shi**
This'll sting a little.
**[06:07] shi**
Can you be strong for me?
**[06:08] som**
Okay.
**[06:09] shi**
There's a brave kid!
**[06:14] shi**
Are you a minotaur?
**[06:17] som**
Yes.
**[06:18] shi**
A golem father with a minotaur kid.
**[06:20] shi**
What a funny combination!
**[06:24] shi**
There, first aid complete!
**[06:26] shi**
You might want to get it
properly looked at, though.
**[06:30] shi**
Why don't we finish up at my house?
**[06:32] dad**
That would be appreciated.
**[06:34] shi**
And while we're there...
**[06:37] shi**
You think I could get a good look
at that golem body of yours?
**[06:45] shi**
Here we are!
**[06:48] shi**
That there is my house!
**[06:51] dad**
You live in the forest?
**[06:53] dad**
Is there not a town nearby?
**[06:55] shi**
Well, it was hard going into the
forest every time I needed herbs.
**[06:58] shi**
So I decided to move out here!
**[07:01] shi**
I'm home—
**[07:02] yaba**
Shizuno!
**[07:04] yaba**
You skipped out on tidying up aga—
**[07:08] som**
M-My eyes!
**[07:09] som**
My eyes! My eyes! My eyes!
**[07:10] dad**
Is this a fruit?
**[07:11] som**
What a rude thing to do, Yabashira!
**[07:14] som**
Throwing things at customers. Honestly!
**[07:17] yaba**
Shizuno!
**[07:20] shi**
There, all done.
**[07:22] shi**
Try standing up now, Somali dear.
**[07:29] som**
It doesn't hurt a bit now, Dad!
**[07:32] som**
Thanks! You're amazing, Shizuno!
**[07:37] shi**
Child's play for the wondrous
ointments of the great Shizuno!
**[07:44] soma**
It doesn't hurt!
**[07:46] dad**
Somali. Your recovery is not yet assured.
**[07:50] shi**
You kids and your energy!
**[07:53] som**
Shizuno, aren't you a kid, too?
**[07:55] dad**
Dwarf oni remain small even when grown.
**[07:58] shi**
Like he said!
**[08:00] shi**
Dwarf oni might not be
as strong as normal oni,
**[08:02] shi**
but we're way better at using our heads!
**[08:10] som**
I smell something!
**[08:14] yaba**
I'm sorry about before.
**[08:16] yaba**
I'm Shizuno's assistant, Yabashira.
**[08:19] yaba**
It's not much of an apology,
I guess, but help yourself.
**[08:23] som**
Down the hatch!
**[08:28] dad**
It appears delicious.
**[08:30] shi**
Yabashira's sweets are always first-rate.
**[08:33] som**
You made all of this, Yabashira?
**[08:36] yaba**
More or less. I suppose
I don't look the type...
**[08:38] som**
No, it's amazing!
**[08:40] som**
You must be a genius if you can
make sweets this good, Yabashira!
**[08:44] yab**
Well, thank you.
**[08:46] dad**
But your household appears quite disorderly.
**[08:50] yab**
Yeah, Shizuno can't handle tidying up.
**[08:54] yab**
He ran off earlier without cleaning again,
**[08:56] yab**
which is why I lost my temper.
**[08:58] shi**
Well, you're my assistant.
You should do that stuff.
**[09:01] yaba**
An assistant isn't the same thing as a maid.
**[09:04] yaba**
My job is to assist you in your work.
**[09:07] yaba**
Because making medicines is
the only thing you're good at.
**[09:11] shi**
It's not the *only* thing...
**[09:13] dad**
Shizuno.
**[09:15] dad**
Would you instruct me in
the art of making medicines?
**[09:19] dad**
The ability to create medicine even
when our supplies are exhausted
**[09:24] dad**
would be invaluable in emergencies.
**[09:27] shi**
Sure thing!
**[09:29] shi**
But in exchange...
**[09:31] shi**
Can I have a piece of you?
**[09:35] dad**
A piece of me?
**[09:37] shi**
Yes...
**[09:38] shi**
I'd like to learn about golem bodies,
to help me in my study of medicine.
**[09:44] yab**
Hey!
**[09:45] yab**
Don't say scary stuff like that.
**[09:47] yab**
You're scaring the little girl!
**[09:49] shi**
Oh, but I was just joking.
**[09:51] shi**
Right, Somali dear?
**[09:53] som**
O-Oh, just joking!
**[10:11] dad**
Is this acceptable?
**[10:13] shi**
Oh... Sure.
**[10:17] som**
Dad... doesn't that hurt?
**[10:20] dad**
There is no issue.
**[10:22] dad**
Golems do not feel pain.
**[10:43] som**
Yabashira!
**[10:45] yab**
Hey!
**[10:46] yab**
Sorry to ask for your help like this.
**[10:49] som**
No, helping is fun!
**[10:51] yab**
Is it?
**[10:53] yab**
Will you help me with the drying, then?
**[10:56] som**
Yes!
**[10:57] som**
Somali will do it all!
**[10:58] yab**
You're sure you can handle it?
**[11:00] som**
Yes!
**[11:02] som**
I'll go get a chair!
**[11:06] shi**
Well, then...
**[11:08] shi**
The great Shizuno's medicine
class shall commence!
**[11:14] ---**
Indeed.
**[11:15] shizu**
Now, Mr. Golem, do you
know Hypericum erectum?
**[11:19] dad**
It is a grass seen frequently on our journey.
**[11:21] shi**
Yep!
**[11:22] shi**
It happens to be the most basic herb you'll
need when you're making ointment.
**[11:27] shi**
To start...
**[11:28] shi**
You wash it really well!
**[11:31] shi**
Then...
**[11:32] shi**
Try to cut it up as finely as possible!
**[11:36] shi**
Then add about 0.3 liters of
water to the cut-up leaves,
**[11:41] shi**
boil for twenty minutes in
a pot, and after it cools...
**[11:46] shi**
It's done!
**[11:48] shi**
Just smear that on the wound.
**[11:51] shi**
If you're in a big hurry, you can also
just squeeze the leaves and use the juice.
**[11:56] dad**
Understood.
**[11:58] dad**
Will you now teach me the
preparation of cold medicine?
**[12:02] shi**
You'll want Pueraria for that.
**[12:04] shi**
It's a kind of kudzu with
powerful antioxidant abilities.
**[12:08] shi**
First, you peel the skin off the root...
**[12:11] ---**
Huh?
**[12:14] dad**
Allow me.
**[12:18] shi**
Thanks so much!
**[12:19] shi**
I'm no good at detailed work like that.
**[12:22] dad**
I see.
**[12:23] shi**
Once it's peeled, you'll want to
chop it and dry it in the sun.
**[12:29] dad**
Dry it in the sun?
**[12:30] dad**
That will take time.
**[12:32] shi**
That's why...
**[12:34] shi**
I have some dried ones right here!
**[12:37] shi**
We'll need to boil these too, but...
**[12:40] shi**
Huh? Where'd my measuring cup go?
**[12:43] shi**
I'll just have to guesstimate!
**[12:47] gol**
Is this method not overly reckless?
**[12:49] shi**
It's fine. It's not an exact science.
**[12:52] gol**
All is explained.
**[12:54] gol**
This will increase the
workload for Yabashira.
**[12:59] som**
Yabashira!
**[13:00] som**
I dried all the laundry!
**[13:02] yab**
Hey, great job.
**[13:05] yab**
Then next, let's—
**[13:06] som**
What do I do next?
**[13:08] som**
I wanna help more!
**[13:11] yab**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[13:13] yab**
You must be tired.
**[13:14] yab**
You're still a kid.
**[13:16] yab**
You should just go play while we wait.
**[13:18] som**
I don't wanna!
**[13:19] yab**
Huh? Why not?
**[13:21] som**
My dad is always doing things for me.
**[13:25] som**
He makes food, he makes medicine...
**[13:27] som**
And earlier, he said it didn't hurt, but...
**[13:32] som**
So I'm gonna work hard, too!
**[13:37] yab**
You really do love him, I suppose.
**[13:40] som**
Yeah!
**[13:41] yab**
Okay, then I'll put you
to work a little longer!
**[14:38] shi**
Say, why did you want to learn
to make medicine so much?
**[14:43] dad**
As I explained earlier, it is more efficient.
**[14:47] shi**
You've got a lot of clothes on, too.
The cloth wraps, the boots, the vest...
**[14:53] shi**
You're trying to keep more of your
skin from breaking off, right?
**[14:59] shi**
This isn't something you
can afford to lose, is it?
**[15:04] shi**
But I had to go and ask for it...
**[15:09] dad**
You currently resemble Somali.
**[15:14] dad**
When Somali was hurt in the forest earlier,
**[15:17] ---**
she wore the same expression
that you wear now.
**[15:20] dad**
The muscles in her face distorted,
and moisture filled her eyes.
**[15:25] dad**
Somehow, that expression
disrupted my thoughts.
**[15:30] dad**
This part, in particular, became agitated.
**[15:34] dad**
I never want to see that
expression on Somali's face again.
**[15:40] dad**
That is why I need medicine.
**[15:43] dad**
A part of my skin is a small price to pay
**[15:46] ---**
for lessons that ensure
it never happens again.
**[15:48] dad**
Do not concern yourself.
**[15:55] dad**
What is the matter?
**[15:56] dad**
Has something happened that amuses you?
**[15:59] shi**
No...
**[16:00] shi**
I think you suffered a
little heartbreak, is all.
**[16:05] dad**
Your statement is erroneous.
**[16:08] dad**
Golems lack both hearts and emotions.
**[16:11] shi**
Yeah, but... you didn't like
seeing Somali cry, right?
**[16:16] shi**
I hear you...
**[16:18] shi**
You're a very nice golem, aren't you?
**[16:25] dad**
Your interpretation is mistaken—
**[16:27] som**
Dad!
**[16:28] som**
Yabashira is making sweets!
**[16:31] som**
I did the laundry and the
cleaning and the dishes!
**[16:35] dad**
I see.
**[16:36] som**
And I wiped the table, too!
**[16:39] som**
And I watered the flowers, too!
**[16:55] som**
Cake... More cake...
**[17:09] dad**
You have my gratitude
for offering her a room.
**[17:12] shi**
No problem!
**[17:14] yaba**
Anyone would be tired after all that work.
**[17:19] shi**
She ate her dinner and dessert
half-asleep as it was.
**[17:23] yab**
She got plenty of crumbs
on her face, didn't she?
**[17:26] yab**
She was as bad as you, Shizuno.
**[17:30] dad**
My apologies.
**[17:31] dad**
I have requested in the past that
she take greater care when eating.
**[17:34] yab**
Hey, seeing her pack it in like that
makes me feel like I did my job right.
**[17:39] yab**
And it's nice to see kids act like kids.
**[17:42] dad**
Is that so?
**[17:50] shi**
Hey.
**[17:52] shi**
I've been wondering...
**[17:55] shi**
What would motivate a
golem to leave the forest
**[17:58] ---**
and go on a journey with a kid like that?
**[18:02] yab**
Yeah, I've been wondering that myself...
**[18:08] dad**
I am searching for Somali's parents.
**[18:13] dad**
I will find them and return her to them.
**[18:16] yab**
I see. So that's it...
**[18:19] yab**
But where are her parents, then?
**[18:23] dad**
I do not know.
**[18:25] yab**
You don't know? How are
you gonna find them, then?
**[18:29] yab**
You'll at least need to get some info first.
**[18:33] yab**
She's still a little kid.
You really shouldn't force it.
**[18:38] shi**
There's a reason, isn't there?
**[18:41] shi**
A reason you need to hurry.
**[18:53] yab**
What are you...
**[19:00] shi**
Your body... Why...
**[19:05] dad**
Do you know the lifespan of a golem?
**[19:09] shi**
I read in a book that you
live a long time, but...
**[19:12] dad**
Yes. We live one thousand years.
**[19:15] dad**
And our lives end precisely
at the thousandth year.
**[19:19] shi**
End?
**[19:21] dad**
I have lived 998 years and 253 days.
**[19:28] dad**
My life functions will cease
in one year and 112 days.
**[19:33] dad**
That is why I must return Somali to her
real parents before that time comes.
**[19:40] shi**
Does Somali know you're
reaching the end of your life?
**[19:46] dad**
No.
**[19:49] yab**
That'd be hard to tell her, I bet...
**[19:52] shi**
A journey to say goodbye, huh?
**[19:56] shi**
That's a pretty cruel fate.
**[19:59] shi**
Somali seems so content with you, too...
**[20:05] dad**
Content?
**[20:07] dad**
Is that how Somali feels?
**[20:10] yab**
You sure are dense.
**[20:12] yab**
You think she'd smile like
that if she weren't content?
**[20:36] shi**
Here. This should hold you a while!
**[20:40] dad**
You have my gratitude.
**[20:41] yab**
And this is for my little dear.
**[20:44] som**
What is it?
**[20:47] som**
Sweets? I can have these?
**[20:49] yab**
Yeah, eat them if you get hungry.
**[20:52] som**
Okay! Thanks, Yabashira!
**[20:55] dad**
Refrain from overindulgence.
**[20:57] yab**
Well, if you run out, just have
him make some more!
**[21:03] som**
Dad? You can make these?
**[21:07] dad**
I will adapt.
**[21:08] yab**
Come on, you're supposed to promise!
**[21:24] som**
I can do so much helping now!
**[21:28] som**
I'll even wash your clothes next time, Dad!
**[21:34] shi**
Quite an unusual golem, wasn't he?
**[21:37] yab**
Yeah. I hope those two have a nice journey.
**[21:42] shi**
I'll say.
**[21:44] shi**
And I think he still has
a few secrets hidden...
**[21:48] shi**
Nothing.
**[21:51] shi**
I hope we meet them again someday...
**[21:54] shi**
That mysterious father and child.

All right. Climb aboard.
**[00:10] tra**
Appreciate it.

It's so good, Dad!

What are you doing, Somali?

Yabashira's sweets!

They're all gone now,
but the bag still smells good!
**[00:43] dad**
I fail to comprehend.
**[00:45] dad**
How can aroma sate the appetite?
**[00:49] dad**
Are there any towns nearby?
**[00:52] dad**
It seems a significant distance remains.
**[00:57] som**
Dad, are we gonna ride that there?
**[01:00] dad**
No.
**[01:02] dad**
Our travel funds remain limited.
**[01:04] dad**
Although a carriage would
conveniently hasten our journey...
**[01:08] som**
Don't worry about me! I'll walk!
**[01:11] som**
There's no hurry!
**[01:13] som**
I like walking with you, Dad!
**[01:18] (Flashback) fb**
I have lived 998 years and 253 days.

It's fine.

Let us walk, then.
**[01:41] som**
Yeah!

The Sea at the Bottom of the Cave
**[03:15] som**
I said I'd be okay walking, but...
**[03:19] som**
It's really tough.
**[03:22] som**
Dad, my legs are all wobbly.
**[03:26] dad**
We are nearly there.
**[03:28] dad**
Look.
**[03:39] ann**
Come one, come all, and feast your eyes!
**[03:42] ann**
The gap in the mountain
is the main thoroughfare!
**[03:44] ann**
Anything can be found,
and everyone's welcome!
**[03:47] ann**
Welcome to Anthole City, everyone!
**[03:52] man**
I've got high-quality wine here!
**[03:55] wom**
I'll mend anything on the spot!
**[03:57] po**
Seaweed-grilled sticky sweet potatoes!
**[03:59] po**
Piping hot and fresh! Come on by!
**[04:04] dad**
Anthole City appears to be a popular
marketplace for travelers to visit
**[04:08] dad**
before crossing the desert.
**[04:11] soma**
"Anthole"?
**[04:13] dad**
It is so named because the streets wind
in a manner similar to an ant colony.
**[04:18] dad**
If one is lost in this town,
one will remain lost forever.
**[04:24] dad**
Do you understand my meaning?
**[04:26] som**
Uh-huh!
**[04:29] man**
Welcome, sir!
**[04:32] man**
Now, how can I help you?
**[04:35] dad**
I wish to sell.
**[04:37] man**
Yes, of course!
**[04:40] man**
Hypericum erectum, honey mushrooms, and...
**[04:52] soma**
The lights are all floaty...
**[04:57] mus**
Hey.
**[05:02] mus**
What are you doing there?
**[05:16] dad**
What is the matter?
**[05:17] som**
Nothing!
**[05:19] man**
How about this, sir?
**[05:22] dad**
A smaller sum than I expected.
**[05:24] man**
Yeah, sorry about that.
**[05:25] man**
These just don't fetch a high price here.
**[05:28] man**
The city's well-stocked as it is, so...
**[05:32] man**
Trying to make money in a hurry?
**[05:34] dad**
Yes. I wish to resume my journey
as quickly as possible.
**[05:39] man**
You might have better luck
doing odd jobs, then.
**[05:43] man**
This is Anthole City, after all.
**[05:46] man**
Someone's always understaffed.
**[05:51] dad**
Regardless...
**[05:54] dad**
*That* matter must be dealt with immediately.
**[05:58] soma**
Do we have enough money?
**[06:00] dad**
We have enough to purchase a meal.
**[06:05] dad**
Is this location acceptable?
**[06:06] soma**
Yeah!
**[06:12] dad**
Are they closed?
**[06:15] soma**
Dad...
**[06:17] dad**
What?
**[06:18] soma**
That box is moving.
**[06:22] dad**
It appears that someone is hiding inside.

They are?!

Who are you?

My son and I are woolly shurigara.

**[07:18] dad**
"Got away"?
**[07:19] koki**
Well, my wife hurt her back,
**[07:22] koki**
so our son is supposed to help with the shop.
**[07:25] koki**
But as you can see,
he doesn't like to stay put...
**[07:28] dad**
That is a common tendency in children.
**[07:33] koki**
Kids his age should be out playing,
so it's not like I want twist his arm...
**[07:36] koki**
But I just can't seem to hire workers.
**[07:40] dad**
You require workers?

In that case...

**[08:06] dad**
Somali.
**[08:07] dad**
You must remain inside the restaurant
until my work is complete.
**[08:11] som**
Understood!
**[08:12] kiki**
Can I go play, then?
**[08:14] koki**
Yes. Go play with Somali.
**[08:16] kiki**
Yay!
**[08:18] kiki**
Let's play over there!
**[08:21] soma**
Okay!
**[08:24] koki**
I'll explain your duties, then.
**[08:29] soma**
It's sucking up the color!
**[08:31] kiki**
How do you like to play, Somali?
**[08:35] som**
I explore!
**[08:36] som**
And I chase animals and cuddle them!
**[08:41] som**
But my favorite is playing with my dad!
**[08:45] kiki**
Yeah, I like playing with my dad, too!
**[08:49] kiki**
We always kick a ball around!
**[08:51] som**
I like it when my dad picks
me up and runs real fast!
**[08:57] kiki**
What kind of game is that?!
**[08:58] som**
And we play hide-and-seek, too!
**[09:00] som**
One time, I found him hiding at
the top of a really tall tree!
**[09:04] kiki**
Was that really hide-and-seek?!
**[09:06] soma**
It's been so boring lately, though...
**[09:09] soma**
We haven't played any new games.
**[09:12] kiki**
Oh, yeah?
**[09:14] kiki**
Well, we're ready to go now!
**[09:19] soma**
You're drawing!
**[09:20] soma**
I like drawing, too!
**[09:26] kiki**
Long, long ago, in a land far away...
**[09:32] kiki**
A strange visitor came.
**[09:40] kiki**
The traveler crossed the sea,
**[09:46] kiki**
and saw a person with horns and a tail...
**[09:56] soma**
That's a neat song!
**[09:58] kiki**
You've never heard it?
**[09:59] kiki**
It's a really old song! Everyone knows it!
**[10:02] kiki**
It almost seems like it's about us, huh?
**[10:04] kiki**
I have horns and a tail,
and you're a visitor!
**[10:08] som**
Oh, yeah! That's true!
**[10:11] kiki**
Right?
**[10:12] som**
What about cuddles?
**[10:13] som**
Are there any cuddles in the song?
**[10:16] kiki**
No way!
**[10:18] koki**
I see they've bonded very quickly.
**[10:21] dad**
It does appear that way.
***SIGN*** Open
**[10:28] man**
I see. Interesting.
**[10:31] dad**
Your order, sir.
**[10:33] man**
That's some amazing balance you've got...
**[10:35] oki**
Hey, be careful with those!
**[10:37] dad**
No need for concern.
**[10:39] dad**
I have carefully assessed
the dishes' weight and balance.
**[10:44] koki**
Well, maybe the performance
will draw in customers...
**[10:47] dad**
Green eggs over rice and
corn salad with herbs.
**[10:54] ---**
Total calories: 595.
**[10:57] ---**
Of that, 20.94 grams are protein.
**[11:00] ---**
16.31 grams are fat.
**[11:02] ---**
And—
**[11:03] koki**
You don't have to tell them all that!
**[11:06] dad**
Oh?
**[11:09] man**
I've seen a lot of things on my travels,
**[11:11] man**
but a golem waiter is a first.
**[11:13] man**
What brings you here?
**[11:16] dad**
I am on a journey, searching for humans.
**[11:18] man**
Humans? To eat?
**[11:20] dad**
No.
**[11:21] man**
There was a traveler we met who
mentioned humans, wasn't there?
**[11:26] man**
Yeah, that's right!
**[11:27] man**
He thought he saw them on the
west end of the Osuna Desert.
**[11:31] man**
Well, crossing the desert is no easy task.
**[11:35] man**
You said it!
**[11:37] dad**
The desert?
**[11:39] dad**
I appreciate the information.
**[11:43] kiki**
Your dad can do anything, Somali!
**[11:50] kiki**
I wish he'd stay and work with us forever.
**[11:54] kiki**
Then I could always play with you!
**[11:58] kiki**
You think you'll come back
when your journey is over?
**[12:02] kiki**
Oh, but I guess when it's over,
you'll just go home.
**[12:06] kiki**
That stinks...
**[12:13] soma**
When our journey is... over?
**[12:27] man**
If you want to cross the desert with a child,
**[12:31] man**
you'll need all this at the bare minimum.
**[12:34] dad**
I lack the funds to purchase it all.
**[12:41] dad**
Your order, sir.
**[12:42] dad**
Gliding lizard in cream.
**[12:47] dad**
We hope you will come back again.
**[12:49] man**
Waiter! Water, please!
**[12:52] dad**
I will bring it immediately.
**[12:53] koki**
Boy, that golem's such a big help.
**[12:57] gina**
Yes! He deserves twice what
we're paying him, at least!
**[13:01] dad**
Your order, sir.
**[13:07] som**
Dad, I just—
**[13:09] dad**
I am working.
**[13:11] dad**
Tell me later.
**[13:16] kiki**
Hey, Somali.
**[13:17] kiki**
Let's play outside today.
**[13:19] som**
But Dad said I couldn't go outside...
**[13:23] kiki**
That's why we won't tell him!
**[13:29] dad**
Where are you going?
**[13:30] kiki**
T-To play outside!
**[13:33] dad**
That is not permitted.
You must play inside the restaurant.
**[13:35] kiki**
How come? What's the big deal?
**[13:38] dad**
That was the agreement.
**[13:40] dad**
Somali, do you understand?
**[13:44] som**
Yeah...
**[13:48] kiki**
What's his problem?
**[13:49] kiki**
Your dad's way too strict!
**[15:10] dad**
Your order, sir.
**[15:11] kiki**
Hey! Hey, Somali!
**[15:14] kiki**
Somali?
**[15:15] koki**
Kikila!
**[15:16] koki**
Could you and Somali pick
up a few things for me?
**[15:19] kiki**
Sure!
**[15:20] kiki**
Let's go, Somali!
**[15:22] dad**
Wait.
**[15:23] dad**
Somali is not permitted to go.
**[15:26] dad**
I cannot allow her to leave my supervision.
**[15:29] iki**
I'll be with her!
**[15:30] iki**
I promise I'll watch over her!
**[15:33] iki**
I'll protect her if she gets in trouble!
So please, let her come along!
**[15:43] dad**
Very well. You have my permission to go.
**[15:47] kiki**
Isn't that great, Somali?
**[15:50] dad**
See that you return before nightfall.
**[15:57] som**
Okay...
**[16:02] koki**
You're the worrying type, huh?
**[16:05] koki**
Did I overstep by asking her?
**[16:09] dad**
No. Our entire journey has
been only Somali and me.
**[16:14] dad**
Kikila is the first friend she has made.
**[16:18] dad**
I do not wish to take that lightly.
**[16:22] man**
Here you go.
**[16:23] kiki**
Thanks!
**[16:24] man**
I added your usual special treat.
**[16:27] kiki**
Yay!
**[16:28] man**
Careful on your way back, now.
**[16:32] kik**
Here, a baked apopo!
**[16:33] kik**
The shopkeeper always gives me one.
**[16:41] som**
It's good...
**[16:42] kik**
Right?!
**[16:44] kik**
I really love these—
**[16:50] kik**
Wh-What's wrong?!
**[16:55] som**
I think my dad wants to leave me.
**[17:00] som**
He's trying to get money so we can
finish our journey as soon as possible.
**[17:05] som**
And when it's over, he might leave me.
**[17:10] som**
But I wanna stay with him forever...
**[17:17] kiki**
I know!
**[17:18] kiki**
Let's ask the yozame flowers!
**[17:20] kiki**
There's a legend in this city, see?
**[17:22] kiki**
There are flowers growing beneath the
city, and if you bring one back alive,
**[17:25] kiki**
it'll grant you a wish!
**[17:29] som**
It'll grant a wish?
**[17:30] kiki**
Yeah! Let's go find one!
**[17:33] som**
Kikila... You're so nice!
**[17:39] kiki**
Stop it, Somali!
**[17:41] soma**
I say thanks with cuddles!
**[17:44] kiki**
Stop! Stop it! Stop!
**[17:55] kiki**
Kids really aren't supposed
to come down here alone...
**[18:00] kiki**
But there are lots of secret
ways in around the city,
**[18:04] kiki**
so kids still come here to
play in secret all the time.
**[18:07] som**
Why do you need a grown-up with you?
**[18:12] kiki**
Because...
**[18:15] ---**
This world is nothing like the world above.
**[18:17] kiki**
It belongs to the underground creatures!
**[18:29] som**
Those are the things I saw the first day!
**[18:33] kiki**
Wanna go?
**[18:34] soma**
Yeah!
**[18:36] soma**
It's really bright for underground.
**[18:39] kiki**
That's the mushrooms' spores glowing.
**[18:42] kiki**
They use the light to lure
in bugs and eat them!
**[18:44] soma**
The mushrooms eat bugs?!
**[18:47] kiki**
Yeah!
**[19:13] kiki**
Say...
**[19:15] kiki**
Just what are you and Mr. Golem
to each other, Somali?
**[19:18] kiki**
You call Mr. Golem "Dad,"
**[19:23] kiki**
but even for an interclan foster family,
it just seems different somehow.
**[19:30] som**
I call him Dad 'cause he's my dad.
**[19:34] som**
When I'm in danger, he protects me.
**[19:37] som**
When we might get separated,
he holds my hand.
**[19:40] som**
When I can't sleep at night,
he counts stars for me.
**[19:44] som**
He's there when I need him.
**[19:49] som**
So... that means he's my dad.
**[19:56] kiki**
Oh, okay.
**[20:00] kiki**
It's a starry butterfly swarm!
**[20:03] kiki**
Let's go, Somali!
**[20:04] kiki**
The starry butterflies feed on
the pollen of yozame flowers!
**[20:08] kiki**
So if we follow them,
we'll find yozame flowers!
**[20:13] kiki**
Somali?
**[20:15] kiki**
Hey, wait up!
**[20:36] kiki**
Wow, a whole field of yozame flowers!
**[20:39] som**
Let's find the biggest one!
**[20:49] som**
There! That big one!
**[20:58] som**
Please... let me stay with my dad forever!
**[21:10] som**
Now my wish will come true...
**[21:16] kiki**
Look out, Somali!
**[21:37] musu**
Damn... What a waste of my time.
**[21:48] musu**
I finally found you.
**[21:53] som**
Dad...
**[22:02] dad**
Somali.
**[22:04] ---**

**[00:10] dad**
Your order is noted.
**[00:14] koki**
One fresh mushroom paspatta, ready to go.
**[00:19] cus**
Hey, Waiter! I'm ready to order!
**[00:21] cus**
Me, too!
**[00:22] dad**
Understood.
**[00:24] dad**
I will attend to you in turn.
**[00:26] kok**
Oh, Mr. Golem.
**[00:28] kok**
You forgot the side salad.
**[00:33] gin**
Worried, are you?
**[00:35] gin**
Don't be, though.
**[00:36] gin**
Have a little more faith in the kids.
**[00:42] dad**
I will resume my duties.

Look out, Somali!
**[02:50] fb**
Damn... What a waste of my time.
**[02:57] fb**
I finally found you.
**[03:06] kik**
Master Muthrica!
**[03:08] kik**
Master!
**[03:12] ---**
Ow!
**[03:12] mus**
You brat.
**[03:14] mus**
How many times do I have to tell you?
Don't come here without an adult!
**[03:16] kik**
I'm sorry!
**[03:18] som**
Y-You know this scary guy, Kikila?
**[03:22] mus**
Who's scary, now?
**[03:26] kik**
Don't worry, Somali!
**[03:28] kik**
He might look scary, but Master Muthrica
is part of the Tsuchinoko Team!
**[03:33] som**
Tsuchinoko Team?
**[03:36] mus**
An organization that oversees
Anthole City's underground area.
**[03:40] mus**
Usually, those who venture down here
**[03:42] mus**
must do so with our protection and guidance.
**[03:44] mus**
Another part of our job
is keeping naughty brats
**[03:49] mus**
like Kila-boy here from sneaking in.
**[03:53] som**
So that's why...
**[03:56] kik**
This brings my record to 26 wins,
22 losses, and four draws!
**[04:01] mus**
Fool!
**[04:01] mus**
I told you, this place isn't a playground!
**[04:04] mus**
And now you're spurring on
outsiders with your mischief...
**[04:10] kik**
Huh?
**[04:11] kik**
Somali, your flower...
**[04:12] som**
Huh?
**[04:16] som**
How come...
**[04:23] mus**
I'd say this one won't make it back.
**[04:26] mus**
It'll be dead by the time you're home.
**[04:29] som**
Oh, no...
**[04:30] som**
But what about my wish?
**[04:33] kik**
Why's it dying so quickly, Master?
**[04:38] mus**
Look at this.
**[04:40] kiki**
What's that?
**[04:41] som**
The roots are glowing!
**[04:43] mus**
They're the roots of the tsuchiami tree.
**[04:45] mus**
The yozame flowers feed off the tree's sap.
**[04:49] mus**
But the smaller trees
provide minimal nutrition.
**[04:53] mus**
You get it?
**[04:55] mus**
Undernourished flowers
can't live for very long.
**[05:01] kik**
So if we find a bigger tsuchiami tree,
**[05:04] ---**
we can get a flower that lives longer, right?
**[05:06] kik**
Then, I bet...
**[05:08] mus**
Don't even try.
**[05:11] mus**
The road to the center
is winding and dangerous.
**[05:14] mus**
It's not a place for children.
**[05:17] mus**
Come on, back to the surface.
**[05:21] som**
No way! I've gotta try it!
**[05:23] som**
I'll keep looking until I find it!
**[05:26] mus**
You want me to leave you behind?
**[05:28] som**
I'll be fine!
**[05:29] som**
I can get back on my own!
**[05:31] som**
I'm gonna find a good flower
**[05:33] som**
and get my wish about Dad to come true!
**[05:41] mus**
The underground realm is larger
and deeper than the city above.
**[05:45] mus**
Not even the Tsuchinoko Team
has explored all of it.
**[05:50] mus**
You'll have no guarantee of safety.
**[05:52] mus**
Will you still go, even then?
**[05:55] som**
Yeah!
**[05:59] mus**
Follow me.
**[06:01] mus**
I'll show you the way.
**[06:04] kik**
Isn't this cool, Somali?
**[06:06] som**
Yeah!
**[06:07] mus**
Idiots.
**[06:08] mus**
We're not on a picnic.
**[06:15] mus**
It was some time ago.
**[06:18] mus**
I was escorting a group
of traveling scholars,
**[06:20] mus**
and we happened upon a large tsuchiami tree.
**[06:24] mus**
Its yozame flowers should be strong enough
**[06:27] mus**
to survive a trip home, and then some.
**[06:31] som**
This is so cool!
**[06:32] som**
Muthrica knows everything, huh?
**[06:34] kik**
I told you, he's my master!
**[06:36] som**
Hey! Can I call you "Master," too?
**[06:40] mus**
Shut your mouths and keep up.
**[06:42] mus**
Don't blame me if you fall and get hurt.
**[06:44] both**
Yes, Master!
**[06:47] mus**
Good grief...
**[06:48] mus**
Babysitting is exhausting.
**[06:56] kik**
We have to jump our way across?
**[06:59] mus**
If you can't handle this,
you'll never reach the flowers.
**[07:05] mus**
Somali!
**[07:18] som**
Th-Thank you...
**[07:21] mus**
You've got spirit, eh?
**[07:24] sm**
Yeah!
**[07:26] mus**
Moving on.
**[07:28] kik**
W-Wait for me!
**[07:33] mus**
You're pathetic, Kila-boy.
**[07:36] mus**
Stumbling over a little stream like that...
**[07:38] kil**
But Master, I still jumped over it!
**[07:41] mus**
And got your tail soaked in the process.
**[07:43] som**
All that nice fluff gone to waste.
**[07:46] kik**
Not you too, Somali!
**[07:50] mus**
We're here.
**[07:52] mus**
The tsuchiami tree is below.
**[07:54] som**
Below?
**[07:56] kik**
I know these! Branching mushroom spore puffs!
**[07:59] kik**
Let's go, Somali!
**[08:01] som**
Kikila!
**[08:03] kik**
Ready... jump!
**[08:31] kik**
They're way nicer than
the flowers from before...
**[08:34] kik**
Let's go!
**[08:40] mus**
What a peculiar child...
**[08:45] som**
This flower will...
**[08:50] mus**
Hey, you two! Get back, right now!
**[08:53] kik**
What was that, Master?
**[09:02] kik**
I-It's a tsuchilizard!
**[09:04] mus**
Damn. What now?
**[09:06] mus**
Provoking it might just put them in danger...
**[09:21] som**
Kikila...
**[09:24] som**
Please! I really need this flower!
**[09:28] som**
I want my wish to come true!
**[09:30] som**
I want to stay with my dad forever!
**[10:13] mus**
You all right, you two?
**[10:16] kik**
We're okay...
**[10:18] mus**
That was very brave of you, Kikila.
**[10:23] som**
Thank you, Kikila.
**[10:25] ---**
Sure.
**[10:27] som**
But what happened?
**[10:28] mus**
The tsuchilizards are the
masters of the tsuchiami tree.
**[10:31] mus**
That means they're the flowers' guardians.
**[10:33] mus**
The fact that it let you go
**[10:36] mus**
may mean your wish will be granted.
**[10:56] kik**
We're back, Mom! Dad!
**[10:59] kok**
Kikila!
**[11:01] kok**
Mr. Muthrica...
**[11:02] mus**
Your usual delivery.
**[11:04] kok**
Thank you...
**[11:07] som**
Dad! This is called a yozame flower!
**[11:11] dad**
You were told to return before nightfall.
**[11:15] dad**
Why did you take an unauthorized detour?
**[11:17] kik**
I-I'm the one who wanted to go!
**[11:20] kik**
So—
**[11:21] gol**
Somali still made the decision to stray.
**[11:24] gol**
Why did you neglect my order?
**[11:26] gol**
Was it willful disobedience?
**[11:30] som**
No... I just...
**[11:33] dad**
If you continue to act
with similar recklessness,
**[11:36] dad**
I will be unable to travel
with you any longer.
**[11:46] kik**
Somali!
**[12:13] kik**
Somali? Somali?
**[12:18] kik**
Hey, answer me...
**[12:21] kik**
Somali?
**[12:24] kok**
If I could, Mr. Golem...
**[12:27] kok**
Don't you think you ought to hear her out?
**[12:31] kok**
She might have a good reason
for doing what she did...
**[12:34] dad**
No.
**[12:35] dad**
Somali's fault in the
matter is unquestionable.
**[12:37] dad**
She failed to follow my orders.
**[12:39] mus**
You golems. Always such
obstinate creatures...
**[12:44] gol**
Could you elaborate?
**[12:46] mus**
I don't know if you believe
in these superstitions,
**[12:50] mus**
but there's a legend in this town.
**[12:53] mus**
If you can bring one of these yozame
flowers back home before it dies,
**[12:57] mus**
it will grant you a wish.
**[13:00] dad**
A superstition?
**[13:02] dad**
Such things are unrealistic.
**[13:04] mus**
But the girl believed it.
**[13:07] mus**
She wants to be with you forever.
**[13:11] mus**
She was so desperate to
have that wish granted
**[13:14] mus**
that she dove in headlong
to pick this flower.
**[13:17] mus**
That little girl, with her own little hands...
**[13:35] mus**
Mr. Golem.
**[13:37] mus**
A true parent must not
inspire fear in their child.
**[13:44] mus**
Goodbye.
**[13:45] kok**
Mr. Muthrica!
**[13:47] kok**
Thank you for your help today!
**[13:49] mus**
Sure.
**[14:06] kik**
Somali?
**[14:10] kik**
I'm coming in.
**[14:15] kik**
E-Emergency! It's Somali!
**[14:24] dad**
Somali.
**[14:30] dad**
She has a fever.
**[14:32] dad**
She is three degrees above
her standard temperature.
**[14:35] kik**
Dad, do we have any medicine?
**[14:36] kok**
The only medicine we have here
is for shurigaras like us.
**[14:47] kok**
She'll do better with
some food in her, but...
**[14:50] dad**
Thank you. It is appreciated.
**[14:57] som**
I'm not hungry.
**[15:00] dad**
Irrelevant.
**[15:02] dad**
You require nutrition to
restore your health.
**[15:05] dad**
Force it down, if necessary.
**[15:14] kok**
Somali...
**[15:18] som**
I feel sick...
**[15:21] som**
I told you I wasn't hungry...
**[15:28] kok**
What are you doing?
**[15:29] dad**
I'm going to buy medicine.
**[15:31] kok**
At this hour?
**[15:33] kok**
But all the stores are already...
**[15:40] dad**
*The long journey.*
**[15:42] dad**
*Day-to-day exhaustion.*
**[15:43] dad**
*And psychological trauma on top of it...*
**[15:46] dad**
* I had endless chances to notice the toll*
* it was taking on Somali's small body.*
**[15:52] dad**
*And yet... I...*
**[16:03] med**
It's awfully late... What do you want?
**[16:06] dad**
I wish to buy medicine.
**[16:09] med**
Medicine for what clan?
**[16:14] dad**
I need a medicine that
will work for all clans.
**[16:16] med**
What?
**[16:17] med**
Well, I do have some like that...
**[16:19] med**
But the ingredients are rare,
so it's pretty expensive.
**[16:22] med**
If you could give me a rough
idea of the clan in question...
**[16:28] dad**
Will this be sufficient?
**[16:33] dad**
It's medicine. Take it.
**[16:36] dad**
Slowly, if needed.
**[16:42] dad**
There is no need to rush.
**[16:44] dad**
It's all right. Take it slowly.
**[16:53] dad**
Yes. That is acceptable.
**[17:10] kok**
How's it going?
**[17:12] dad**
She appears to have settled.
**[17:14] kok**
I see. I'm glad to hear it.
**[17:18] dad**
I am the cause of her failing health.
**[17:22] dad**
I was so preoccupied with
the speed of our journey
**[17:26] dad**
that I failed to perceive the changes in her.
**[17:28] dad**
As a result, I caused a great
deal of trouble to all of you.
**[17:32] dad**
Forgive me.
**[17:34] kok**
Somali's really important to you, isn't she?
**[17:39] kok**
It's plain to see.
**[17:41] kok**
You're so protective of her,
**[17:43] kok**
and you guide her so precisely...
**[17:48] kok**
But Mr. Golem... there's no
such thing as a perfect parent.
**[17:54] kok**
I make mistakes of my own from time to time.
**[17:56] kok**
Sometimes I let my anger get the best of me.
**[17:59] kok**
Sometimes I leave him bawling his eyes out.
**[18:02] kok**
But whenever I mess up, I always take
him in my arms and say I'm sorry.
**[18:08] kok**
I make sure he knows I care about him.
**[18:12] kok**
That's how both parents and children grow.
**[18:16] kok**
It's what the relationship is about.
**[18:21] kok**
The parent-child relationship?
**[18:30] som**
Dad?
**[18:35] gol**
Well? Has the pain abated somewhat?
**[18:39] som**
Just a little.
**[18:42] gol**
I see.
**[18:46] gol**
There is no need to overexert yourself.
**[18:48] gol**
If things ever feel too
draining, you must tell me.
**[18:52] gol**
Do you understand?
**[18:54] som**
Yeah...
**[19:05] gol**
The fever has diminished.
**[19:07] gol**
The medicine must have had an effect.
**[19:09] som**
It tasted gross, though...
**[19:11] dad**
Good medicine always tastes bitter.
**[19:17] dad**
Regarding our future...
**[19:19] dad**
I have decided to work here a while longer.
**[19:22] dad**
When we leave this city, our next
destination will be the Osuna Desert.
**[19:26] dad**
We will require significant funding.
**[19:28] som**
You mean... we don't have enough money yet?
**[19:34] som**
Because you had to buy me medicine?
**[19:37] som**
Is it my fault?
**[19:40] gol**
Your recovery is all that matters to me.
**[19:45] gol**
I can always work to acquire more money.
**[19:47] gol**
But there is no replacement for you, Somali.
**[19:57] som**
Dad!
**[20:00] som**
I'm sorry I didn't come back right away!
**[20:03] som**
I'm sorry I always make you worry so much!
**[20:12] dad**
I, too, must apologize,
for making you afraid.
**[20:17] som**
Dad, do you promise to stay with me forever?
**[20:21] som**
Even when the journey's over,
you'll stay with me forever?
**[20:27] dad**
Yes.
**[20:29] dad**
I shall always be with you.
**[20:38] som**
I'm so glad... I'm so glad.
**[20:44] som**
You gotta promise.
**[20:45] som**
You promise, right, Dad?
**[20:50] dad**
Yes.
**[20:52] dad**
I promise.
**[21:12] mus**
Never thought I'd meet a golem in this city.
**[21:18] mus**
I was a soldier before I came here.
**[21:22] mus**
Saw my fill of all kinds of strange plants
and creatures, going from place to place.
**[21:27] mus**
In a forest far to the west, I met
a golem at the end of its lifespan.
**[21:34] mus**
Much like you are now.
**[21:39] mus**
That girl made a wish to be with you forever.
**[21:43] mus**
I hope you don't betray that.
**[21:59] gol**
*I fear that I may have to.*

Don't cry, Kikila!
**[00:09] som**
You'll get all dried up!
**[00:12] kiki**
But... Somali...
**[00:15] dad**
Somali, it is time to board the wagon.
**[00:18] dad**
We must depart.
**[00:19] ---**
Okay.
**[00:21] som**
Don't worry, Kikila.
**[00:23] som**
Dad promised. He said we could
journey together forever.
**[00:28] som**
So we'll be back for sure! Okay?
**[00:34] kiki**
Okay...

Dad!
**[00:56] dad**
What is it, Somali?
**[00:59] som**
Let's go! It's time to leave, right?
**[01:03] dad**
Yes, it is.
**[02:58] som**
I'm hot...
***SIGN*** Episode 5
The Wandering Birds
**[03:00] som**
The wagon makes things easy,
**[03:03] som**
but the heat makes it hard again...
**[03:09] gol**
The increased frequency
of sandstorms at night
**[03:12] gol**
requires that we travel
while the sun is up.
**[03:15] gol**
You must exercise patience
until we reach a village.
**[03:19] gol**
Drink.
**[03:21] gol**
Failure to maintain hydration
could prove dangerous.
**[03:26] som**
It's warm...
**[03:28] dad**
We will prioritize rest upon our arrival.
**[03:30] som**
I wanna drink something cold...
**[03:38] som**
Back from the brink of death!
**[03:41] dad**
Another hyperbolic phrasing.
**[03:44] dad**
Let us proceed.
**[03:45] som**
Yeah!
**[03:56] som**
This place is weird, huh, Dad?
**[03:59] dad**
Winecup Village is a way point for travelers,
**[04:03] dad**
built into the caldera of an extinct volcano.
**[04:06] dad**
The terrain provides ideal
shelter from sandstorms,
**[04:10] dad**
so in time, travelers began to gather here,
**[04:12] dad**
and a village was formed.
**[04:18] som**
Let's see...
**[04:20] som**
I wanna eat this!
**[04:22] dad**
Consuming only cold things will
decrease your body temperature.
**[04:26] dad**
Request denied.
**[04:27] som**
But it was hot for so long!
**[04:30] man**
Travelers, eh?
**[04:34] man**
For you. Safe travels!
**[04:39] dad**
Um. What is this?
**[04:41] wait**
An old custom in this village.
**[04:44] wait**
It comes from an old story...
**[04:46] wait**
Before the village sprang up,
**[04:49] wait**
a group of travelers gathered
in the extinct caldera.
**[04:53] wait**
One of them sold wine.
**[04:56] wait**
He shared his wares with the
others, and they had a banquet.
**[05:01] wait**
In the days that followed, mysteriously,
**[05:03] ---**
every traveler in attendance managed
to safely cross the desert.
**[05:08] wait**
Ever since, it's been a custom
for travelers to share drinks,
**[05:12] ---**
to pray for a safe desert crossing.
**[05:15] wait**
Those dangerous tornadoes,
**[05:17] ---**
called Dragon Twisters, are common
in these parts, after all.
**[05:21] dad**
I see.
**[05:23] wait**
That's a wine made from canestalk,
the village's specialty.
**[05:27] dad**
Canestalk?
**[05:29] dad**
That is a source of sugar, is it not?
**[05:32] som**
You mean it's sweet?!
**[05:34] dad**
You are not old enough for alcohol.
**[05:36] som**
Mean!
**[05:38] wait**
We also make canestalk ice
cream for the young ones.
**[05:41] som**
Ice cream?
**[05:45] dad**
If we must.
**[05:46] dad**
In that case—
**[05:47] uzo**
Could I have an order of
that canestalk ice cream?
**[05:54] uzo**
What?
**[05:55] som**
Are you copying me?
**[05:57] uzo**
Certainly not.
**[05:59] wait**
Well, I'm sorry to say,
**[06:01] wait**
but we only have one serving left...
**[06:03] som**
I want it!
**[06:04] som**
You should give it to me!
**[06:05] uzo**
Hey!
**[06:07] uzo**
Why do you get it and I don't?!
**[06:08] som**
I got dibs!
**[06:11] uzo**
Have a little respect for your elders!
**[06:13] uzo**
You little runt!
**[06:14] som**
I'm not a runt!
**[06:15] som**
And you're not being mature at all!
**[06:17] uzo**
Show some respect already!
**[06:17] dad**
Somali. Watch your volume inside—
**[06:17] som**
It's mine!
**[06:20] uzo**
You've got a big mouth for such a little ki—
**[06:25] uzo**
You...
**[06:27] hai**
What are you doing, Uzoi?
**[06:29] uzo**
Haitora...
**[06:35] hai**
I apologize for my companion.
**[06:40] hai**
That's quite a story.
**[06:42] hai**
It sounds very difficult.
**[06:45] dad**
Yes. We have faced much hardship.
**[06:47] hai**
If it's going to be a long journey,
**[06:48] hai**
a wagon is definitely the way to go.
**[06:52] som**
It's good, huh?
**[06:56] uzo**
You can have mine.
**[06:59] som**
Really?!
**[07:00] dad**
You have my gratitude.
**[07:01] uzo**
It's nothing.
**[07:03] uzo**
I just wasn't in the mood anymore.
**[07:06] dad**
Are you traveling companions?
**[07:09] uzo**
Yes, we are.
**[07:10] uzo**
We're in a wagon.
**[07:12] hai**
We're traveling in search of medicine.
**[07:15] hai**
I'm in rather poor health...
**[07:18] hai**
so I'm seeking a cure.
**[07:20] hai**
And she's chosen to support
me in my time of need...
**[07:24] uzo**
Well, you wouldn't be safe on your own.
**[07:27] uzo**
But he's not my dad or anything.
**[07:30] uzo**
I'm a member of the proud harpy clan.
**[07:33] uzo**
Haitora is a falcohol.
**[07:35] uzo**
They've got bird heads.
**[07:37] uzo**
Though I guess Haitora's also
kind of like my guardian...
**[07:41] dad**
I see.
**[07:43] uzo**
What are you traveling to find?
**[07:46] uzo**
You're a bit of an odd pair yourselves.
**[07:49] dad**
We are traveling in search of humans.
**[07:54] hai**
Humans?
**[07:55] uzo**
Why would you be searching for humans?
**[07:58] dad**
I study humans for research purposes.
**[08:04] som**
All done! That was great!
**[08:07] som**
You're a nice lady, Uzoi.
**[08:12] uzo**
Hey, Somali.
**[08:14] uzo**
Why don't you come with us across the desert?
**[08:17] hai**
Uzoi?
**[08:18] uzo**
I mean, why not?
**[08:19] uzo**
We've got so much to haul around, and all
the loading and unloading is exhausting.
**[08:24] uzo**
It'd be great to have the extra hands!
**[08:27] dad**
Is that your motivation?
**[08:29] uzo**
Got me, huh?
**[08:31] uzo**
Though, it's not a bad trade-off for
free passage on a wagon, am I right?
**[08:36] dad**
But...
**[08:37] som**
Let's go in Uzoi's wagon, Dad!
**[08:41] dad**
You truly don't mind?
**[08:43] hai**
N-No... I don't.
**[08:47] dad**
I see.
**[08:48] dad**
We accept your offer, then.
**[08:52] uzo**
Leave everything to me!
**[08:57] som**
I can't wait to see Uzoi's wagon, Dad!
**[09:01] dad**
I see.
**[09:13] hai**
Uzoi, what are you after here?
**[09:17] hai**
There was more to that offer than kindness.
**[09:21] uzo**
That's right.
**[09:23] uzo**
That girl... She smells like you, Haitora.
**[09:27] hai**
You can't mean...
**[09:29] uzo**
Yes.
**[09:39] uzo**
That girl is human.
**[09:43] uzo**
Just like you.
**[09:45] hai**
What would a human be doing with a golem?
**[09:50] uzo**
I don't care about that.
**[09:54] uzo**
But I had an idea.
**[09:58] hai**
An idea?
**[10:02] uzo**
Once we have them out in the desert...
**[10:11] hai**
Y-You can't!
**[10:13] hai**
What would be the point of—
**[10:22] uzo**
Haitora...
**[10:24] uzo**
We're running out of time.
**[10:34] uzo**
So... please.
**[10:52] dad**
This is the last of it.
**[10:53] hai**
Thank you.
**[10:58] som**
Whatcha doin'?
**[11:04] uzo**
I'm changing to sand paddle wheels.
**[11:07] uzo**
We need them on the route
we're about to take
**[11:10] uzo**
so we don't sink into the sand.
**[11:11] som**
I see, I see!
**[11:13] som**
That's very amazing!
**[11:18] som**
Say!
**[11:19] uzo**
Wh-What?
**[11:21] som**
Why are deserts always full of sand?
**[11:23] uzo**
You're silly.
**[11:24] uzo**
Being full of sand is what
*makes* them deserts.
**[11:27] uzo**
Everyone knows that!
**[11:28] som**
Oh!
**[11:29] som**
Then why doesn't water—
**[11:31] som**
You're so annoying!
**[11:36] dad**
What is it?
**[11:38] dad**
Is something the matter, Haitora?
**[11:40] hai**
No... Nothing.
**[11:44] dad**
I see.
**[11:45] dad**
Somali, our preparations are complete.
**[11:49] dad**
We may depart.
**[11:50] som**
Sure!
**[11:51] som**
But I left something in my room!
**[11:54] dad**
I see. We must retrieve it, then.
**[11:57] dad**
In the future, see that you
check your room before we leave.
**[12:04] hai**
Uzoi...
**[12:07] uzo**
Let's get on for now.
**[12:24] som**
It's hot, but I'm not hot!
**[12:26] som**
The wind is so nice!
**[12:28] uzo**
We designed it for good ventilation.
**[12:32] som**
Your wagon is the best!
**[12:35] dad**
Somali, move to the center
of the cart, where it is safe.
**[12:37] som**
I'm safe here! And I can't
see outside from there!
**[12:44] som**
Hey, Uzoi! What are those things?
**[12:48] uzo**
Cactus thorns.
**[12:50] uzo**
They're tough on the outside, but once
they blossom, you can eat them.
**[12:53] som**
Do they taste good?
**[12:55] uzo**
Well...
**[12:56] uzo**
If you cook them right, they can be quite—
**[12:59] som**
Uzoi! What's that?
**[13:00] uzo**
You rude little thing.
**[13:02] uzo**
At least wait until I finish—
**[13:11] dad**
A sandstorm?
**[13:13] hai**
Be careful, everyone.
**[13:16] dad**
The air currents have grown unpredictable.
**[13:19] dad**
It is more like a sea during
a storm than a desert.
**[13:22] som**
It's shaking so much...
**[13:23] hai**
Hold on tight, or you might fall out!
**[13:30] dad**
Somali.
**[13:33] uzo**
Don't fall out right after he says it!
**[13:36] uzo**
We need you alive, okay?
**[13:41] uzo**
Wh-What?
**[13:44] som**
You like me a lot, I guess!
**[13:47] uzo**
Wha—
**[13:48] uzo**
That's not what I...
**[13:51] dad**
Hmm? Something is approaching.
**[13:59] uzo**
A savage fish of the Osuna Desert.
**[14:02] uzo**
A sandshark!
**[14:18] hai**
It may yet return.
**[14:20] hai**
We should hurry away from here.
**[14:23] som**
So... So cool!
**[14:27] uzo**
Of course he is.
**[14:28] uzo**
Haitora is *very* cool!
**[14:31] som**
My dad is cool, too!
**[14:34] uzo**
He's not as cool as Haitora!
**[14:35] som**
He totally is!
**[14:37] uzo**
He's totally not!
**[14:38] dad**
I suggest that you both cease this argument.
**[15:39] dad**
The temperature has dropped considerably.
**[15:42] hai**
Uzoi.
**[15:42] uzo**
On it.
**[15:44] som**
What's that?
**[15:46] uzo**
It's a crystal-finder.
**[15:48] uzo**
It contains what's called a caller stone,
a crystal found in desert caves.
**[15:53] uzo**
You hear that sound it's making?
**[16:00] som**
I do!
**[16:01] uzo**
That's it resonating with
others of its kind nearby.
**[16:06] dad**
So the louder the resonance,
the closer we are to a cave.
**[16:11] uzo**
Yes.
**[16:13] uzo**
That cave is where we'll spend the night.
**[16:25] som**
What a pretty sound...
**[16:30] uzo**
I find it annoyingly loud, myself...
**[16:33] dad**
I understand those of the harpy
clan have heightened senses.
**[16:36] uzo**
Pretty much.
**[16:38] uzo**
Hearing everything can get annoying.
**[16:41] hai**
Uzoi.
**[16:42] hai**
Mr. Golem and I will pitch the tent.
**[16:44] hai**
You go secure our light sources.
**[16:46] uzo**
Sure thing.
**[16:47] uzo**
You've got nothing better
to do, so come help me.
**[16:49] som**
Sure!
**[16:54] som**
Hey, why cages?
**[16:57] uzo**
You ask a lot of questions, don't you?
**[17:00] uzo**
You'll find out when we get there.
**[17:06] uzo**
This looks like a glowing
rock, but it's a torchfly.
**[17:10] uzo**
They make perfect light sources,
so we'll borrow them for the night.
**[17:14] som**
I'm gonna grab one, too!
**[17:19] uzo**
Pick one from a lower spot, you runt.
**[17:23] uzo**
See? There's one hiding
under that dark rock there.
**[17:32] som**
There was!
**[17:34] som**
You're so smart, Uzoi!
**[17:36] uzo**
Haitora taught me.
**[17:39] uzo**
Treacherous mountains, thick
forests, freezing snowfields...
**[17:44] uzo**
We've traveled all kinds of places together.
**[17:47] som**
I've been to all kinds of
places with my dad, too!
**[17:51] uzo**
Hey...
**[17:54] uzo**
Just what is your relationship to that golem?
**[17:57] uzo**
He can't be your real father, right?
**[17:59] som**
"Real"?
**[18:01] som**
My dad is my dad!
**[18:06] uzo**
I see...
**[18:07] som**
Who's your dad, Uzoi?
**[18:10] uzo**
I don't have a father.
**[18:11] uzo**
The women raise the children
in the harpy clan,
**[18:14] uzo**
so I only ever knew my mother.
**[18:16] som**
I see!
**[18:17] som**
So where's your mom?
**[18:20] uzo**
Haitora said that she died of an illness.
**[18:23] som**
Oh... sorry.
**[18:25] uzo**
It's all right.
**[18:27] uzo**
It happened when I was a kid,
so I don't remember it well.
**[18:33] uzo**
Haitora's always been there
to keep me from feeling alone.
**[18:39] uzo**
I love Haitora.
**[18:43] uzo**
So I'm not lonely at all.
**[18:45] som**
You're just like me!
**[18:48] uzo**
How so?
**[18:50] som**
You love Haitora, and I love my dad!
**[18:55] som**
So we're the same!
**[18:58] uzo**
C'mon, stop talking and start working!
**[19:02] som**
But you were talking, too!
**[19:04] uzo**
Never stop working!
**[19:05] uzo**
There's a torchfly right there!
**[19:08] som**
Got you!
**[19:15] uzo**
*Yes...*
**[19:17] uzo**
*To save Haitora... I...*
**[19:26] dad**
Haitora, I have heard rumors that humans
**[19:30] dad**
were seen in the western Osuna Desert.
**[19:33] dad**
Have you heard the same thing?
**[19:35] hai**
I'm afraid not. I'm sorry.
**[19:39] dad**
I see.
**[19:40] hai**
Er...
**[19:41] hai**
Why are you searching for humans?
Why do you study them?
**[19:46] hai**
Is there... I mean...
**[19:48] hai**
Does it have something to do with Somali?
**[19:52] dad**
It is difficult to explain.
**[19:55] hai**
I see...
**[19:56] som**
We're back!
**[19:58] dad**
You are.
**[19:59] som**
We brought a whole bunch!
**[20:03] dad**
Well done.
**[20:06] hai**
Uzoi.
**[20:07] uzo**
There's nothing to worry about.
**[20:09] uzo**
You should rest for now.
**[20:11] hai**
But...
**[20:16] som**
Hey, Dad! Is there any other way I can help?
**[20:20] dad**
Is there?
**[20:22] uzo**
You can help me fetch water.
**[20:24] uzo**
There should be a spring back this way.
**[20:26] uzo**
Let's go!
**[20:27] som**
Okay!
**[20:30] dad**
Exercise caution at the water's edge.
**[20:32] som**
You got it!
**[20:37] hai**
Uzoi...
**[20:40] dad**
What is it?
**[20:41] dad**
Are you ailing?
**[20:54] som**
That's weird, Uzoi.
**[20:56] som**
This isn't the way we came from.
**[21:03] dad**
If you are feeling unwell—
**[21:05] hai**
Mr. Golem.
**[21:07] hai**
I'll come right to the point.
**[21:09] hai**
Somali...
**[21:16] hai**
She's human, isn't she?
**[21:19] som**
Wh-What are you doing, Uzoi?
**[21:21] som**
You scared me...
**[21:24] dad**
How did you know that?
**[21:25] hai**
Please, listen to me.
**[21:27] hai**
I'm...
**[21:30] hai**
I'm human, too!
**[21:33] dad**
Human?
**[21:35] hai**
We're traveling... to cure my condition.
**[21:40] hai**
Please! Help me...
**[21:43] hai**
Help me stop Uzoi!
**[21:45] som**
U-Uzoi...
**[21:47] som**
That hurts a little.
**[21:49] som**
Please stop.
**[21:51] uzo**
Your blood might save Haitora.
**[21:56] uzo**
That is why...
**[21:57] uzo**
I am going
**[22:01] uzo**
to kill you!

Dying Flowers Look Up at the Birds
**[01:59] dad**
Explain your circumstances.
**[02:02] hai**
We've been to all sorts of places,
**[02:05] hai**
seeking a cure for my condition...
**[02:08] hai**
But time passed, and we were
no closer to an answer.
**[02:13] hai**
That's when it happened.
**[02:15] hai**
Out on the fringes,
**[02:17] hai**
we found the hut of a fortune-teller.
**[02:20] hai**
The fortune-teller looked at me and said...
**[02:23] (Flashback) for**
Your blood is corrupted.
**[02:27] (Flashback) for**
Until you purify your blood,
you shall never know peace!
**[02:33] (Flashback) for**
Only new blood can purify corrupted blood.
**[02:38] hai**
Uzoi must have remembered
the fortune-teller's words.
**[02:43] hai**
She means to take it from Somali.
**[02:47] gol**
Let us hurry.
**[02:49] fb**
Your blood might save Haitora.
**[02:54] fb**
That is why...
**[02:56] fb**
I am going

**[03:03] som**
No...
**[03:04] som**
No!
**[03:09] uzo**
Stop!
**[03:10] som**
*I don't get it!*
**[03:12] som**
*No... No!*
**[03:14] som**
*Dad!*
**[03:16] som**
*Dad!*
**[03:28] som**
*No... I can't let her get me...*
**[03:31] som**
*I promised I'd stay with Dad forever!*
**[03:50] uzo**
I have you.
**[03:56] som**
No! Let me go!
**[03:58] som**
Uzoi!
**[03:58] uzo**
Quiet down!
**[03:59] uzo**
Don't struggle so—
**[04:01] som**
No!
**[04:09] uzo**
Somali!
**[04:45] uzo**
I'm sorry.
**[04:47] som**
Uzoi...
**[04:49] uzo**
Haitora is sick.
**[04:51] uzo**
And he's a human, like you.
**[04:56] som**
Human?
**[04:58] uzo**
We don't have any idea how to cure it.
**[05:01] uzo**
Nobody knows anything about human illnesses,
**[05:04] uzo**
and we couldn't tell anyone, anyway...
**[05:06] uzo**
But his condition keeps
getting worse and worse.
**[05:11] uzo**
I thought drinking the blood of
a healthy human might cure him.
**[05:17] uzo**
So... I just...
**[05:22] dad**
Somali.
**[05:24] som**
Dad!
**[05:31] uzo**
Haitora...
**[05:35] som**
Dad!
**[05:38] dad**
Were you harmed?
**[05:39] som**
Nope! Just a little wet.
**[05:52] som**
Wait, Dad!
**[05:54] som**
Uzoi saved me!
**[05:57] som**
Please don't be mad at her!
**[06:09] dad**
Dry your hair. You will catch cold.
**[06:17] hai**
Uzoi...
**[06:22] uzo**
I had to try something.
**[06:24] uzo**
Even if it meant hurting someone,
doing something awful...
**[06:28] uzo**
I thought I could do it,
if it would help you.
**[06:32] uzo**
But...
**[06:34] uzo**
Even though you're going to die soon...
**[06:37] uzo**
Even though I want to be with you forever...
**[06:40] uzo**
I couldn't do it!
**[06:45] uzo**
I just couldn't do it...
**[06:50] hai**
That's all right.
**[07:16] uzo**
You aren't cold?
**[07:18] som**
I'm okay.
**[07:21] uzo**
I see...
**[07:24] som**
You're a real crybaby, Uzoi.
**[07:29] uzo**
Look, I'm... really sorry, okay?
**[07:37] som**
We're friends, so I forgive you.
**[07:44] uzo**
You're a strange little one...
**[07:56] hai**
Mr. Golem, about Uzoi...
**[08:00] dad**
I will not reproach her for her actions.
**[08:04] dad**
It was a reasonable behavior,
for one who loves another.
**[08:08] dad**
I recognize that this
is the nature of family.
**[08:12] hai**
Family...
**[08:14] dad**
What is it?
**[08:16] hai**
I'm not worthy to be Uzoi's family.
**[08:21] hai**
Don't they look familiar to you?
**[08:24] hai**
These things growing out of my human skin...
**[08:28] hai**
They're just like the feathers that
grow around Uzoi's eyes and body.
**[08:33] hai**
It's because, long ago...
**[08:36] hai**
I ate Uzoi's mother.
**[08:52] hai**
I was once a man
**[08:54] hai**
eking out an existence
with a few other humans,
**[08:56] hai**
hidden from the eyes of the Grotesques,
**[09:00] hai**
with the family I loved.
**[09:05] hai**
But...
**[09:07] hai**
One day, our settlement was attacked.
**[09:17] hai**
Those damned Grotesques were hunting us!
**[09:37] hai**
My comrades, my daughter's friends...
**[09:40] hai**
One after another, they were caught.
**[09:43] hai**
If they fought, their arms were torn off.
**[09:46] hai**
If they tried to run,
their legs were torn off.
**[09:49] hai**
And some were even
**[09:53] hai**
devoured on the spot.
**[10:02] hai**
By a stroke of good luck,
we retreated to a cave in the forest.
**[10:07] hai**
No... When I consider the
fate that would follow,
**[10:11] hai**
perhaps it was the opposite of good luck...
**[10:32] hai**
The fear that the Grotesques
might return at some point
**[10:36] hai**
shaved away at our morale.
**[10:38] hai**
We couldn't sleep at night.
**[10:40] hai**
We had no proper food or water.
**[10:43] hai**
Two days passed, then three...
**[10:49] (Flashback) wife**
Honey...
**[10:51] (Flashback) hai**
We won't last much longer like this.
**[10:54] (Flashback) hai**
I'm going to take a look outside.
**[11:12] (Flashback) hai**
A bird?
**[11:19] (Flashback) hai**
A Grotesque... this close by...
**[11:52] (Flashback) hai**
We have to become like them.
**[11:56] (Flashback) hai**
To reject human nature and become monsters...
**[11:59] (Flashback) hai**
It's the only way to survive.
**[12:02] (Flashback) hai**
Let's eat her.
**[12:29] ---**
Hon...ey...
**[12:31] (Flashback) girl**
It hurts!
**[12:33] (Flashback) girl**
It hurts, Papa!
**[12:34] (Flashback) girl**
Papa! Mama!
**[13:04] (Flashback) hai**
It can't be.
**[13:06] (Flashback) hai**
How could this...
**[13:09] (Flashback) uzo**
Mama?
**[13:12] (Flashback) uzo**
Mama?
**[13:31] uzo**
That's why I'm not worthy to be her family.
**[13:42] som**
Uzoi?
**[13:47] uzo**
He's been...
**[13:50] ---**
lying to me... this whole time...
**[14:07] dad**
The wind is growing stronger.
**[14:09] hai**
We might get a storm.
**[14:11] hai**
It's a longer way around,
**[14:13] hai**
but let's take the western route.
**[14:22] som**
It's your share of breakfast, Uzoi.
**[14:25] uzo**
You can have it.
**[14:27] uzo**
I'm not hungry.
**[14:30] som**
Did something happen last night?
**[14:34] uzo**
I can never tell if you're
oblivious or oddly perceptive.
**[14:40] uzo**
Hey, Somali... have you ever been lied to?
**[14:43] som**
Lied to?
**[14:45] uzo**
Yes, lied to.
**[14:48] uzo**
The heartless kind of lie that
renders every happy memory false.
**[14:54] uzo**
I feel like a fool.
**[14:55] uzo**
He lied to me all this time...
**[14:58] som**
Uzoi?
**[15:00] uzo**
It's so obvious...
**[15:02] uzo**
Fatherhood based on a lie
can never become real.
**[15:07] som**
It's not a lie.
**[15:09] som**
Because me and you both—
**[15:13] uzo**
Hey, what's happening?
**[15:22] uzo**
A Dragon Twister!
**[15:24] hai**
It's dangerous here!
**[15:26] hai**
Grab on to some—
**[15:35] hai**
Uzoi!
**[15:47] hai**
Uzoi!
**[15:50] dad**
Restrain yourself.
**[15:51] dad**
It will carry you off, too.
**[15:53] hai**
But—
**[15:54] dad**
Following them would only cause further harm.
**[15:57] dad**
Remain calm.
**[15:59] dad**
I have assessed the direction they were
blown in and the wind's current.
**[16:03] dad**
Topographically speaking, they
are likely to land unharmed.
**[16:07] dad**
We must wait until the wind
dies down, then retrieve them.
**[16:12] hai**
All right.
**[16:27] som**
My mouth's all sandy...
**[16:31] uzo**
Somali... We're alive?
**[16:36] som**
Hey...
**[16:37] som**
Before, you said family based
on a lie can't become real.
**[16:42] uzo**
Well...
**[16:45] som**
But love is never a lie!
**[16:49] som**
I love my dad. You love Haitora!
**[16:57] som**
So it'll be okay!
**[17:03] dad**
Considering their weight
**[17:05] dad**
and the strength and direction of the wind,
**[17:07] dad**
they are likely to be in this area.
**[17:12] dad**
What is the matter?
**[17:13] hai**
I think Uzoi overheard our
conversation last night.
**[17:19] hai**
I've been lying to her all this time.
**[17:23] hai**
We can never go back to the way things were.
**[17:27] dad**
The time has come for your reckoning, then?
**[17:30] hai**
My reckoning?
**[17:32] dad**
The reckoning for the sins of your past.
**[17:36] dad**
Heedless of the result,
**[17:38] dad**
you must face the person
to whom you owe atonement,
**[17:41] dad**
even if this deepens the scars.
**[17:50] hai**
What's wrong?
**[17:55] dad**
Over there.
**[18:00] dad**
Somali!
**[18:13] dad**
A canterbird.
**[18:15] dad**
It is territorial and extremely aggressive.
**[18:19] dad**
If we do not approach carefully,
**[18:21] dad**
it may harm the girls as well as ourselves.
**[18:26] dad**
I will lure the bird away.
**[18:28] dad**
If it does attack, my golem
body will be able to endure it.
**[18:33] dad**
While I do this, Haitora,
you will save the girls.
**[18:38] dad**
When I see that they are
safe, I will fire a flare.
**[18:41] dad**
While the bird recoils, I will flee.
**[18:45] hai**
Uzoi...
**[18:47] dad**
Haitora.
**[18:49] dad**
We must begin.
**[18:55] hai**
Over here!
**[18:56] uzo**
Haitora?
**[19:02] uzo**
What... What's going on?
**[19:06] dad**
Haitora... I was to be the decoy.
**[19:09] hai**
*It's more likely to chase me. And...*
**[19:13] hai**
*I don't have long to live, anyway.*
**[19:16] som**
Dad!
**[19:18] dad**
Does Haitora intend to die here?
**[19:22] uzo**
What are you talking about?
**[19:33] hai**
* Ever since I met Uzoi,*
* I've been at war with myself.*
**[19:38] hai**
* Whenever she smiled at me*
* or showed that she loved me...*
**[19:42] hai**
* Inside, I was screaming,*
* "I don't deserve this."*
**[19:47] hai**
* I decided the only way to atone*
* was to risk my life for hers.*
**[19:57] hai**
*So...*
**[20:00] hai**
*This is fine.*
**[20:14] dad**
Close your eyes, both of you!
**[20:25] uzo**
Don't end it without asking me!
**[20:28] uzo**
Don't you dare try to die to get out of this!
**[20:35] uzo**
Look, just tell me...
**[20:37] uzo**
Why did you stay with me all this time?
**[20:39] uzo**
Didn't you realize I might kill
you if I learned the truth?
**[20:46] hai**
I didn't care.
**[20:48] hai**
You're the only thing I live for. I would
give up my life any time you asked for it.
**[20:55] hai**
Yes, even now...
**[20:59] uzo**
Then... stay alive!
**[21:03] som**
Uzoi...
**[21:05] uzo**
Stop thinking you need
to die to make it right.
**[21:09] uzo**
Get up and keep walking,
no matter how painful it is!
**[21:13] uzo**
And then...
**[21:15] uzo**
Live on with me!
**[21:18] uzo**
Let that be your punishment!
**[21:24] hai**
I will... I promise.
**[21:48] som**
Uzoi's a real crybaby, huh?

Your nose is all red.

Well, of course it is!

I cried a lot!

I knew you were a crybaby, Uzoi.

Are you kidding? Is this really the time?!

My dad made a promise to me, too!
**[00:48] som**
He said we'd be together forever!
**[00:50] som**
Right, Dad?
**[00:56] dad**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Episode 7
The Footsteps That Stalk the Witches
**[02:35] som**
So sweet!
**[02:36] uzo**
Hang on, how much canestalk was that?
**[02:39] uzo**
You *are* leaving enough for everyone, right?
**[02:42] som**
Oh, no!
**[02:44] uzo**
Okay, I'm confiscating the rest.
**[02:46] som**
No! That's mine!
**[02:48] uzo**
Cut it out already!
**[02:52] dad**
We are several hours past Lakda Rock.
**[02:55] dad**
We appear to have come quite far.
**[02:57] hai**
Yes. If we continue at this speed,
**[02:59] hai**
we should be through the
Osuna Desert by tomorrow.
**[03:04] hai**
Is something the matter?
**[03:06] dad**
Our course was decided based on
a rumor that humans had been seen
**[03:10] ---**
at the edge of the desert.
**[03:12] dad**
However, that seems unlikely.
**[03:17] dad**
Although I hope to find pockets of
remaining humans somewhere...
**[03:30] som**
Hey, Uzoi...
**[03:33] uzo**
What is it? Can't sleep?
**[03:36] som**
How come all the humans went away?
**[03:42] uzo**
Well... because of the war,
I guess, and other stuff.
**[03:47] som**
What other stuff?
**[03:48] uzo**
I don't know much about it.
**[03:51] uzo**
Why do you ask?
**[03:53] som**
I don't know anything,
**[03:56] som**
even though I'm a human.
**[04:02] uzo**
It's another early day tomorrow.
**[04:03] uzo**
Let's get some sleep.
**[04:10] (Flashback) fb**
You gotta promise.
**[04:12] (Flashback) fb**
You promise, right, Dad?
**[04:16] (Flashback) fb**
Yes.
**[04:17] (Flashback) fb**
I promise.
**[04:29] dad**
The cracks in my body grow larger by the day.
**[04:32] dad**
If it continues at this rate...
**[04:36] dad**
Haitora.
**[04:38] hai**
May I join you?
**[04:42] hai**
Thank you for everything you did today.
**[04:47] hai**
You've given me the determination
to stay with Uzoi to the bitter end.
**[04:52] hai**
It's been a long time since I've
felt a genuine will to live.
**[04:58] hai**
I wish I could keep watch
over Uzoi until she grows up.
**[05:05] hai**
I genuinely envy that you can be
with Somali through the years.
**[05:13] dad**
I cannot.
**[05:16] dad**
Every golem has a predetermined lifespan.
**[05:20] dad**
My life functions will cease in 301 days.
**[05:26] dad**
This is why I must bring Somali to humans
**[05:29] dad**
while this body still functions.
**[05:32] hai**
Have you told Somali about this?
**[05:35] gol**
I have not.
**[05:40] hai**
I don't have any information
about humans, myself.
**[05:44] hai**
But I hear that if you head
west out of the desert,
**[05:48] hai**
there's a village that collects
knowledge from all over the world.
**[05:51] hai**
If you go there, maybe...
**[05:54] dad**
Knowledge from all over the world?
**[05:57] dad**
I see.
**[05:58] dad**
We will travel to that village, then.
**[06:02] hai**
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
**[06:05] dad**
No...
**[06:06] dad**
Even the smallest things
are a great help to us.
**[06:11] dad**
I am grateful.
**[06:15] hai**
I've been traveling for a long time.
**[06:18] hai**
I imagine traveling with a human
girl comes with its share of trouble.
**[06:24] gol**
Human children are indeed driven
by exceptional curiosity.
**[06:28] gol**
They disappear the moment
you take your eyes off them.
**[06:31] gol**
Their weak immune systems cause them
**[06:34] gol**
to suffer frequent declines in health.
**[06:36] gol**
Many times, I have struggled to treat
her with my insufficient knowledge.
**[06:41] gol**
But I consider these things
**[06:42] gol**
to be trivial, so long as they allow
Somali to remain in good health.
**[06:47] hai**
Somali's a lucky girl, huh?
**[06:52] dad**
Please elucidate your meaning.
**[06:54] hai**
There's no safe place for
humans in this world.
**[06:58] hai**
We always have to stay in hiding.
**[07:01] hai**
There's no telling what will
happen if we're caught.
**[07:04] hai**
And yet, she found you.
**[07:07] hai**
She can sleep at night without fear.
**[07:10] hai**
She can smile her way through the day.
**[07:13] hai**
She has peace of mind, and I think
you're the reason why.
**[07:21] dad**
We are the same, Haitora.
**[07:24] dad**
I do not know if I can
protect Somali to the end.
**[07:28] dad**
But when you say these things to me,
**[07:32] ---**
this part of me feels lighter.
**[07:36] dad**
I see.
**[07:37] dad**
Is this the "peace of mind" you describe?
**[07:43] hai**
It is.
**[07:52] som**
It's so nice and cool!
**[07:54] uzo**
That's how you know
we're leaving the desert.
**[07:57] uzo**
We'll be going our separate ways soon, too.
**[08:01] som**
Really?!
**[08:02] uzo**
I told you that yesterday.
**[08:04] som**
I was so busy eating, I didn't listen...
**[08:08] som**
Why are you laughing?!
**[08:09] uzo**
Well, it's just funny.
**[08:13] som**
I wish I could stay with
you guys for longer...
**[08:20] uzo**
Don't be that way, now.
**[08:22] som**
But...
**[08:23] uzo**
This isn't anything to be sad about.
**[08:25] uzo**
We'll meet again someday,
**[08:27] uzo**
after I cure Haitora's illness.
**[08:31] som**
Uzoi...
**[08:34] uzo**
To be honest, I haven't worked
through it all myself.
**[08:40] uzo**
But the way I feel now isn't a lie.
**[08:44] uzo**
I know that... someday...
**[08:50] hai**
It's within sight now, you two.
**[08:56] som**
A forest!
**[09:00] hai**
If you follow this river, you should
reach the village I mentioned.
**[09:06] som**
Hey, Dad!
**[09:07] som**
Where are we going next?
**[09:09] dad**
To a village where we
can acquire information.
**[09:12] som**
Will they tell us more about humans?
**[09:15] dad**
It is possible.
**[09:18] som**
That's great, Dad!
**[09:22] hai**
Best of luck to you.
**[09:25] dad**
To you, as well.
**[09:29] som**
Come on, Dad! Let's go!
**[09:33] uzo**
That's great news, Somali.
**[09:35] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:37] uzo**
See you later, Somali!
**[09:39] som**
Yeah! See you, Uzoi!
**[09:47] uzo**
Thank you, Somali.
**[11:06] dad**
This is quite an unusual settlement.
**[11:09] witch**
Hello there, little traveler.
**[11:12] witch**
Would you like to try the
witches' special wicca wine?
**[11:15] witch**
It's safe for children to drink.
**[11:19] som**
Wicca wine?
**[11:21] witch**
Would you like some roseberry jam with that?
**[11:23] witch**
And some herb-stuffed wursts, too!
**[11:26] witch**
I've got crimson pickles here!
**[11:29] som**
I love this witch village!
**[11:33] som**
All full!
**[11:35] dad**
Somali, you are aware that dining
is not the purpose of our journey?
**[11:39] som**
I forgot!
**[11:41] som**
Where's the information?!
**[11:43] witch**
Are you trying to do some research?
**[11:46] dad**
Yes.
**[11:48] witch**
In that case...
**[11:50] witch**
Over there is a repository of knowledge
from all over the world,
**[11:54] witch**
the Witches' Crest Library.
**[11:56] witch**
I'll show you around.
**[12:06] som**
Dad! Look at all the books!
**[12:09] dad**
Indeed. There are more than I had imagined.
**[12:11] gro**
There are 10,000 medical tomes alone, I hear!
**[12:15] gro**
A person could solve
the mysteries of the ages!
**[12:18] dad**
This does appear promising.
**[12:20] dad**
Somali...
**[12:22] som**
Dad, look! It's a book about food!
**[12:24] som**
Breakfasts of the world!
**[12:26] som**
Afternoon snacks!
**[12:27] som**
A-All the meat you can eat?!
**[12:30] som**
They all look so good, Dad!
**[12:30] dad**
It seems there is nothing
on your mind but food.
**[12:34] watch**
Sorry for the wait, traveler.
**[12:37] watch**
This is Hazel.
**[12:38] watch**
She's a top librarian here.
**[12:41] haz**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[12:43] witch**
Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for.
**[12:47] witch**
Take care of them, Hazel.
**[12:49] haz**
Certainly!
**[12:50] haz**
Now, what brings you to this library?
**[12:54] dad**
We are on a journey in search of humans.
**[12:57] dad**
We wish to find clues
regarding their whereabouts.
**[12:59] ha**
Clues, huh?
**[13:02] ha**
Just one minute.
**[13:10] haz**
There's a biography in the warehouse
that talks about humans...
**[13:15] dad**
A biography?
**[13:16] som**
I'll read it!
**[13:19] haz**
Well... It might be a bit
advanced for you, dear.
**[13:22] som**
That's okay! I'll do my best to read it!
**[13:25] som**
I wanna know all about humans!
**[13:29] haz**
You're a funny little one.
**[13:31] haz**
I'll show you the way, then.
**[13:36] haz**
We witches are a clan whose
devotion is to the world itself.
**[13:41] haz**
In gratitude to the god who
created the land and life,
**[13:44] haz**
and in remembrance of those great deeds,
**[13:46] haz**
we have brought books to this library from
around the world since the days of antiquity.
**[13:52] haz**
Some leave the village to collect books.
**[13:55] haz**
Some—like us—sort the
books that are collected.
**[14:00] haz**
And some protect those books.
**[14:03] haz**
It has been the treasured duty
of the witches since ages of old.
**[14:07] haz**
It's like an instinct for our clan,
so we receive no compensation.
**[14:12] haz**
That is why we use our knowledge
to sell medicines and food,
**[14:16] haz**
and earn money that way.
**[14:17] som**
It was all yummy!
**[14:20] haz**
I'll be sure to tell the others.
**[14:23] haz**
Now, then...
**[14:24] haz**
The book you seek should be in this area.
**[14:27] haz**
Let me see...
**[14:30] haz**
That's odd... It should be right here.
**[14:35] haz**
There's no record of it being checked out...
**[14:38] gol**
Has it been lost, then?
**[14:42] haz**
No, I think I know where it is.
**[14:45] haz**
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but this library
is at times plagued by bookworms.
**[14:50] som**
Worms?
**[14:51] haz**
Yes. Given past experience...
**[14:54] haz**
It's likely in here.
**[14:59] haz**
Praline! You're here, aren't you?
**[15:03] pra**
Huh?
**[15:04] pra**
Yo, Hazel! What're you doin' here?
**[15:08] haz**
And there's the bookworm... my big sister.
**[15:12] pra**
Heya!
**[15:13] haz**
Goodness... How many times must I tell you—
**[15:16] pra**
Wow, a golem! What're you doin' here?
**[15:18] pra**
He's freakin' huge!
**[15:20] pra**
Wow, tough, too!
**[15:22] pra**
Say, where'd you come from?!
**[15:25] haz**
Desist.
**[15:28] pra**
Right...
**[15:30] pra**
A book on humans, right?
**[15:32] pra**
Talk about obscure requests...
**[15:37] haz**
Excuse me, Praline!
**[15:38] haz**
Could you please be more
gentle with the books?
**[15:42] dad**
I will aid your search.
**[15:44] dad**
What is the name of the book?
**[15:45] pra**
I think it was... *The Chronicle of Haraiso*?
**[15:49] dad**
And its appearance?
**[15:49] som**
Haraiso... Haraiso... Haraiso...
**[15:50] pra**
It was super old and falling apart.
**[15:53] haz**
Be more specific!
**[15:54] pra**
I want to say it was blue,
**[15:58] ---**
and had something like an eye on the spine...
**[16:05] som**
Dad, I found the book!
**[16:07] dad**
Have you?
**[16:09] som**
I'm bringing it now!
**[16:13] dad**
Somali!
**[16:32] dad**
Were you harmed, Somali?
**[16:35] pra**
That was a close one!
**[16:39] som**
What are those?
**[16:41] pra**
Book-eating fish.
**[16:42] pra**
Pescafish.
**[16:44] pra**
Old paper soaked with ink is their favorite,
**[16:46] pra**
so they're witches' mortal enemy.
**[16:49] pra**
They get especially prevalent
during their breeding period...
**[16:52] pra**
But why did this happen?
**[16:54] haz**
It's because you leave the room so messy.
**[16:58] pra**
R-Regardless!
**[17:04] pra**
Go!
**[17:12] dad**
Your efforts appear insufficient, however.
**[17:18] pra**
Hazel?
**[17:19] haz**
Yes, yes...
**[17:48] som**
Magic is cool!
**[17:49] som**
So awesome!
**[17:50] pra**
I know, right?
**[17:52] pra**
My magic is powerful,
but it only affects a small area.
**[17:55] pra**
But Hazel's magic works over a huge area!
**[17:58] pra**
Which means when we work
together, we're unstoppable!
**[18:02] haz**
Honestly...
**[18:04] haz**
I wish you would calm down.
**[18:07] dad**
It does not appear to be over.
**[18:26] som**
I-It's huge!
**[18:28] haz**
I've never seen a subspecies like that!
**[18:37] som**
The books!
**[18:39] pra**
You big stupid fish!
**[18:45] pra**
N-No way!
**[18:49] som**
Dad! You okay?
**[18:53] dad**
I am undamaged.
**[19:01] som**
It's looking at the book...
**[19:03] haz**
You think it's after *The Chronicle of Haraiso*?
**[19:05] dad**
Somali, release the book.
**[19:08] som**
No!
**[19:09] som**
It's important!
**[19:11] som**
I'll protect it!
**[19:13] dad**
Somali!
**[19:24] som**
No!
**[19:31] som**
The information...
**[19:45] som**
Dad...
**[19:48] dad**
Foreign hostile detected.
**[19:50] dad**
Purge required.
**[20:13] pra**
Golems are... something else...
**[20:22] som**
Dad?
**[20:25] dad**
Somali, were you harmed?
**[20:27] som**
I'm okay.
**[20:30] som**
But...
**[20:32] som**
You're not okay at all, Dad!
**[20:34] som**
That must have hurt a lot!
**[20:37] som**
It's all my fault!
**[20:39] som**
I'm sorry!
**[20:45] pra**
Hazel.
**[20:47] pra**
This is *The Chronicle of Haraiso*.
**[20:54] pra**
Can't read it now, can we?
**[20:59] som**
I couldn't keep the book safe.
**[21:02] dad**
That is acceptable.
**[21:03] som**
But...
**[21:06] dad**
It is not an issue.
**[21:08] dad**
As long as you are safe, it is not an issue.
**[21:28] pra**
Say, if we check the record of borrowers,
**[21:31] ---**
we could find someone who's read it, right?
**[21:33] haz**
That's true!
**[21:35] dad**
Is it possible?
**[21:36] haz**
Yes!
**[21:41] haz**
There it is!
**[21:42] haz**
Just one person, 304 years ago...
**[21:45] haz**
A librarian...
**[21:48] haz**
Isolde Nebsolv?
**[21:51] pra**
Wait, isn't that...
**[21:54] haz**
Yes, it is.
**[21:58] haz**
Our head librarian.

But surely, that person is no longer living.

No.

Most witches live about 150 years.

But superior witches who are
chosen to be head librarians
**[00:30] haz**
live much longer.

Oh, no!

**[02:45] som**
It worked!
**[02:51] dad**
This is a map of the library, then?
**[02:57] som**
Her special book is so cool!
**[03:00] dad**
Praline likely used this
route to smuggle books.
**[03:08] som**
It goes so far down!
**[03:09] dad**
A ventilation shaft, no doubt.
**[03:12] dad**
The head librarian's room appears
to be on the lowest floor.
**[03:17] dad**
Let us proceed.
**[03:18] som**
Dad!
**[03:20] som**
What are those things?
**[03:24] dad**
An unfamiliar lifeform.
**[03:27] som**
Wh-What's that sound?!
**[03:29] al**
Intruders!
**[03:31] al**
Intruders! Intruders!

Intruders!

Oh, no...

I'm going to jump, Somali.

Dad!

Take a deep breath.
**[04:35] iso**
Come this way.
**[04:47] som**
What was that voice?
**[04:49] dad**
I do not know.
**[04:52] dad**
But it appears that we have
reached our destination.
**[05:00] som**
Is she in there?
**[05:09] le**
Hands up. Down on the ground!
**[05:12] le**
You've entered a restricted area.
**[05:14] le**
You will be punished.
**[05:17] iso**
Halt.
**[05:19] som**
The voice from before!
**[05:20] le**
But...
**[05:21] iso**
Please.
**[05:24] iso**
Send them to me.
**[05:33] iso**
It is a pleasure to meet you, travelers.
**[05:36] dad**
You are Isolde Nebsolv?
**[05:40] iso**
Yes. Please forgive my appearance.
**[05:43] iso**
You must be quite startled.
**[05:45] som**
I-I'm okay!
**[05:48] gol**
We wish to inquire about
*The Chronicle of Haraiso*.

What do you want with that book?

Do not be distressed,

*The Chronicle of Haraiso*.
**[06:00] iso**
That name takes me back...
**[06:03] iso**
Perhaps it was our mother World
Herself that guided you here.
**[06:09] gol**
What do you mean?
**[06:11] iso**
It is I who wrote that book,
**[06:15] iso**
and in doing so, drove the
humans to their deaths.
**[06:23] iso**
*Let me tell you the story of Haraiso.*
**[06:26] iso**
* Of the meeting of my ancestor,*
* Feodora Nebsolv, and the humans...*
**[06:34] (Flashback) feo**
What'll I do?
**[06:35] (Flashback) feo**
It's still a long way back
to the witches' village...
**[06:38] (Flashback) feo**
My teacher mentioned this wind...
**[07:08] (Flashback) mee**
You awake?
**[07:10] (Flashback) mee**
You okay?
**[07:12] (Flashback) mee**
We found you collapsed at
the edge of the village.
**[07:15] (Flashback) feo**
Um... where am I?
**[07:18] (Flashback) woman**
The village of Haraiso.
**[07:20] (Flashback) woman**
It's the largest village in the area.
**[07:23] (Flashback) feo**
The village of Haraiso?
**[07:25] (Flashback) man**
What village do you hail from?
**[07:37] (Flashback) hara**
You have awakened.
**[07:47] (Flashback) hara**
You have a wounded leg,
but no other sign of ailment.
**[07:51] (Flashback) feo**
Huh? Y-Yes...
**[07:54] (Flashback) hara**
You must be thirsty.
**[07:56] (Flashback) hara**
I will bring water.
**[07:57] (Flashback) mee**
Oh, I'll help!
**[08:10] (Flashback) man**
Miya and Lord Haraiso found you.
**[08:13] (Flashback) feo**
"Lord Haraiso"?
**[08:15] (Flashback) feo**
He looks quite a bit different
from the rest of you...
**[08:19] (Flashback) man**
I suppose he does.
**[08:21] (Flashback) wom**
Lord Haraiso is a bit like a god to us,
**[08:23] (Flashback) wom**
since he gave us this place to live.
**[08:28] (Flashback) feo**
A god?
**[08:29] (Flashback) man**
He's let us make a fine
living off of this land.
**[08:34] (Flashback) man**
He looks a little different,
**[08:36] (Flashback) man**
but there's no need to fear him.
**[08:39] (Flashback) feo**
I see!
**[08:40] (Flashback) feo**
So you're a different species!
**[08:45] (Flashback) man**
What did you just say?
**[08:48] (Flashback) feo**
Well... you have a name for
your species too, don't you?
**[08:52] (Flashback) man**
Where... exactly did you come from?
**[08:55] (Flashback) woman**
"Species" is a term you use for
animals and plants, isn't it?
**[09:01] (Flashback) feo**
Um...
**[09:03] (Flashback) man**
Are you saying... you're not human like us?
**[09:09] (Flashback) feo**
I... well...
**[09:12] (Flashback) hara**
Be at ease.
**[09:14] (Flashback) wom**
Lord Haraiso...
**[09:15] (Flashback) hara**
That girl is human.
**[09:18] (Flashback) hara**
There is no cause for concern.
**[09:21] (Flashback) woman**
Thank goodness!
**[09:22] (Flashback) woman**
If you say so, I know that it's safe.
**[09:25] (Flashback) man**
Sorry for the accusations, dear.
**[09:26] (Flashback) man**
I hope you feel better soon.
**[09:31] (Flashback) hara**
Drink this water.
**[09:35] (Flashback) feo**
Thank you.
**[09:41] (Flashback) feo**
Can I ask...
**[09:42] (Flashback) feo**
What happened with those people earlier?
**[09:46] (Flashback) hara**
They possess a great fear of the unknown.
**[09:50] (Flashback) feo**
Fear?
**[09:51] (Flashback) feo**
But why?
**[09:52] (Flashback) feo**
I'm not here to hurt anyone...
**[10:00] (Flashback) gol**
Humans are a frail and cowardly species.
**[10:05] (Flashback) gol**
Whenever they encounter a creature that
does not conform to their worldview,
**[10:09] (Flashback) gol**
they cannot regain peace of mind
until they purge it from existence.
**[10:14] (Flashback) gol**
If they were to learn that you
were not of their species,
**[10:18] (Flashback) gol**
you would likely suffer the same fate.
**[10:20] (Flashback) feo**
That's awful!
**[10:21] (Flashback) feo**
Then... if I can't make it back... I...
**[10:27] (Flashback) gol**
Your fears are unfounded.
**[10:30] (Flashback) gol**
I will guarantee your safety.
**[10:38] (Flashback) feo**
I'm sorry. I was just so relieved...
**[10:42] (Flashback) feo**
My species cries in this unusual way.
**[10:52] (Flashback) feo**
You seem very kind.
**[10:54] (Flashback) hara**
Golems lack emotions.
**[10:58] (Flashback) feo**
I see. You're from a species
called golems, then?
**[11:03] (Flashback) feo**
I'm Feodora Nebsolv of the witch clan.
**[11:07] (Flashback) hara**
I am Haraiso.
**[11:09] (Flashback) feo**
A pleasure.
**[11:21] (Flashback) mee**
Big Sis!
**[11:23] (Flashback) mee**
Here! My grandma sent it for you!
**[11:27] (Flashback) feo**
What is it?
**[11:28] (Flashback) mee**
Potato mochi!
**[11:33] (Flashback) feo**
Thank you, Miya.
**[11:35] (Flashback) feo**
I'll try it.
**[11:42] (Flashback) feo**
It's delicious!
**[11:43] (Flashback) feo**
What a wonderful flavor!
**[11:47] (Flashback) feo**
Do you want some?
**[11:49] (Flashback) mee**
No way!
**[11:50] (Flashback) mee**
Potato mochi isn't cute!
**[11:52] (Flashback) feo**
What?
**[11:53] (Flashback) mee**
Potato mochi is tasty,
**[11:55] (Flashback) mee**
but my friends all say that cake is cuter.
**[11:58] (Flashback) mee**
They say I look like an
old lady when I eat it.
**[12:03] (Flashback) feo**
In that case...
**[12:08] (Flashback) feo**
There! All done!
**[12:11] (Flashback) mee**
So cute!
**[12:12] (Flashback) mee**
I can't believe it!
**[12:15] (Flashback) feo**
It's to thank you for saving me.
**[12:15] (Flashback) feo**
So cute!
**[12:18] (Flashback) feo**
Miya...
**[12:19] (Flashback) feo**
You're such a sweet and
adorable little girl.
**[12:22] (Flashback) feo**
Even if you ate potato mochi,
**[12:26] (Flashback) ---**
no one could call you an old lady now.
**[12:29] (Flashback) mee**
Okay!
**[12:33] (Flashback) mee**
Thank you, Big Sis!
**[12:35] (Flashback) mee**
I'm gonna show all my friends!
**[12:41] (Flashback) feo**
This might just work out.
**[13:28] (Flashback) hara**
They seem to be treating you well.
**[13:31] (Flashback) feo**
They are.
**[13:32] (Flashback) hara**
And your leg?
**[13:34] (Flashback) feo**
It's all better now.
**[13:36] (Flashback) hara**
I see.
**[13:37] (Flashback) hara**
I have investigated your situation.
**[13:39] (Flashback) hara**
The Dragon Twisters that
periodically appear above us
**[13:43] (Flashback) hara**
travel in a circle around the island,
**[13:46] (Flashback) hara**
then head back in the
direction they came from.
**[13:48] (Flashback) hara**
If you ride an early morning wind,
**[13:50] (Flashback) hara**
it will likely return you to your home.
**[13:52] (Flashback) feo**
Really?
**[13:56] (Flashback) feo**
But...
**[14:03] (Flashback) feo**
We're all getting along so well...
**[14:08] (Flashback) feo**
Miya?
**[14:13] (Flashback) mee**
Big Sis, are you really leaving tomorrow?
**[14:17] (Flashback) feo**
Yeah.
**[14:18] (Flashback) mee**
But why? You should stay forever!
**[14:22] (Flashback) feo**
I'm sorry, Miya.
**[14:24] (Flashback) mee**
We'll still be friends even
if you go away, right?
**[14:32] (Flashback) feo**
Of course.
**[14:34] (Flashback) feo**
I'll always be your friend, Miya.
**[14:39] (Flashback) feo**
What could that be?
**[14:42] (Flashback) mee**
A Grotesque...
**[14:44] (Flashback) mee**
A Grotesque showed up.
**[14:58] (Flashback) feo**
This is... awful!
**[15:02] (Flashback) gro**
Please stop this.
**[15:04] (Flashback) gro**
I haven't done anything.
**[15:06] (Flashback) gro**
I'm not... your enemy.
**[15:09] (Flashback) man**
What in the world?! It talks like a person!
**[15:12] (Flashback) man**
How unsettling...
**[15:13] (Flashback) man**
We'll shut it up fast.
**[15:23] (Flashback) gro**
Stop...
**[15:25] (Flashback) feo**
No! It's not your enemy!
**[15:28] (Flashback) feo**
Stop!
**[15:30] (Flashback) feo**
Please!
**[15:39] (Flashback) boy**
You monster!
**[15:41] (Flashback) boy**
Disgusting!
**[15:42] (Flashback) boy**
Die!
**[15:43] (Flashback) boy**
Monster!
**[15:43] (Flashback) boy**
Never come back!
**[15:44] (Flashback) boy**
Enemy to humanity!
**[15:47] (Flashback) mee**
Go away!
**[15:53] feo**
*I can't stay here.*
**[15:55] feo**
* If they learn what I am,*
* they'll kill me, too!*
**[16:04] (Flashback) hara**
Feodora...
**[16:08] feo**
*If I can just wait out the night here...*
**[16:11] (Flashback) feo**
Feodora, dear!
**[16:13] (Flashback) feo**
Where are you?
**[16:14] (Flashback) feo**
Please, answer us!
**[16:18] (Flashback) mee**
Big Sis?
**[16:20] (Flashback) feo**
M-Miya...
**[16:25] (Flashback) mee**
I figured you'd be here.
**[16:28] (Flashback) mee**
Let's go back now. Everyone's looking—
**[16:32] (Flashback) mee**
Huh?
**[16:33] (Flashback) feo**
Hey, Miya...
**[16:35] (Flashback) feo**
If I were a Grotesque,
what would you do to me?
**[16:41] (Flashback) mee**
But you're human, right?
**[16:43] (Flashback) mee**
And you can't be friends with monsters.
**[16:50] (Flashback) feo**
I see...
**[16:57] (Flashback) feo**
Miya!
**[16:59] (Flashback) feo**
Miya!
**[17:01] (Flashback) feo**
Miya!
**[17:04] (Flashback) feo**
Feodora! There you are!
**[17:06] (Flashback) feo**
Miya! Is that Miya?
**[17:09] (Flashback) feo**
She's hurt!
**[17:10] (Flashback) feo**
We need to pull her up!
**[17:11] (Flashback) feo**
But how?!
**[17:17] (Flashback) feo**
Someone save Miya! Hurry!
**[17:20] feo**
*I could save Miya...*
**[17:22] feo**
*But...*
**[17:53] (Flashback) feo**
I'm sorry, Miya.
**[18:01] (Flashback) man**
So, you weren't human?
**[18:04] (Flashback) man**
Get out, monster.
**[18:06] (Flashback) man**
You deceived us all!
**[18:07] (Flashback) man**
How creepy that you even look human!
**[18:10] (Flashback) man**
Kill her! Just kill her!
**[18:14] (Flashback) mee**
Big Sis...
**[18:21] (Flashback) hara**
Because you saved Miya,
you will be pardoned.
**[18:24] (Flashback) hara**
Leave this instant, grotesque thing.
**[18:29] (Flashback) feo**
Very well.
**[18:35] (Flashback) mee**
Big Sis...
**[18:38] (Flashback) man**
Stay back. She's a monster!
**[18:41] (Flashback) mee**
No!
**[18:44] (Flashback) mee**
She's my friend!
**[18:51] (Flashback) feo**
Thank you, Miya.
**[19:01] iso**
That is all that is known
of *The Chronicle of Haraiso*.
**[19:05] iso**
Feodora returned to the witches' village.
**[19:08] iso**
In time, she became head librarian,
**[19:10] iso**
told the story to her successor,
**[19:13] iso**
and forbade it be written
for a thousand years.
**[19:17] iso**
She believed more time
would be needed before we—
**[19:21] ---**
and the easily frightened humans—
could come together peacefully.
**[19:25] iso**
But then, I wrote it down in a book.
**[19:30] iso**
I killed the humans.
**[19:33] le**
It isn't your fault!
**[19:36] dad**
Yes, it seems to be merely
a series of coincidences.
**[19:41] som**
Dad...
**[19:43] som**
Were the people in the
story human... like me?
**[19:50] iso**
They were.
**[19:53] som**
So I'm... like them?
**[19:56] iso**
Come here.
**[20:00] le**
Ma'am!
**[20:01] iso**
I permit it.
**[20:15] iso**
Your hand is warm.
**[20:19] iso**
Are you afraid of us?
**[20:23] som**
No way!
**[20:25] som**
I've got lots of friends here!
**[20:27] iso**
Then everything will be fine.
**[20:30] iso**
We can reach an understanding.
**[20:33] iso**
Just as a bond formed
between Feodora and Miya.
**[20:37] som**
A bond?
**[20:38] iso**
Yes.
**[20:40] iso**
A love between two hearts that
could never be torn apart.
**[20:47] som**
A love... between two hearts?
**[20:51] dad**
A bond?
**[20:55] iso**
If it is humans you seek,
go to the ends of the world.
**[21:01] iso**
Their descendants may yet remain there.
**[21:05] dad**
You have my gratitude.
**[21:07] iso**
No...
**[21:09] iso**
It is I who am grateful...
to have met you at my end.
**[21:28] iso**
May the World grant you Her protection.

Ribbit, ribbit! Ribbit, ribbit!
**[00:10] som**
Jump!
**[00:11] som**
Jump!
**[00:13] dad**
What are you doing, Somali?
**[00:16] som**
Playin' frog!
**[00:18] dad**
We must hurry.
**[00:20] dad**
You will catch a cold if we do
not secure shelter from the rain.
**[00:24] som**
Okay!
**[00:28] som**
Stop that! It tickles!
**[02:05] som**
Walkin' in the rain! Walkin' in the rain!
**[02:10] som**
The rain comes falling down and down!
***SIGN*** Episode 9
Memories of Minor Days
***SIGN*** Dad, look!
***SIGN*** What's that?
**[02:19] dad**
A treehouse, I believe.
**[02:22] dad**
Shall we attempt it?
**[02:24] som**
Yeah!
**[02:28] dad**
We appear to be the only ones here.
**[02:30] dad**
We should stay here for the night.
**[02:34] som**
Staying here will be fun!
**[02:37] dad**
It appears to be a lodging for tappers.
**[02:40] som**
Tappers?
**[02:43] dad**
This area's trees are known as candy baums.
**[02:46] dad**
They produce a sap with a
very high sugar content.
**[02:49] dad**
The holes we saw in the trees are
likely the result of sap extraction.
**[02:53] dad**
A crystallized version of the sap can be
ground into a product known as baum sugar.
**[02:59] dad**
It is sold from stalls as a candy.
**[03:01] som**
Oh, the sweet melty stuff!
**[03:04] dad**
Those who extract the sap
are known as "tappers."
**[03:09] dad**
They likely lodge here during
the harvest period.
**[03:14] dad**
Do you understand?
**[03:16] som**
Yeah, I understand!
**[03:18] dad**
Then let us have dinner.
**[03:19] som**
Yeah, let's have dinner!
**[03:31] dad**
The ends of the world.
**[03:34] dad**
Will my body hold out that long?
**[03:39] som**
Dad!
**[03:41] dad**
Somali. You are not yet asleep?
**[03:44] som**
Read me this book before I sleep!
**[03:47] som**
I found it next to my bed!
**[03:50] dad**
One of the tappers must have left this.
**[03:54] dad**
It appears to contain cooking advice.
**[03:57] dad**
Honey mushroom milk jam.
**[03:59] dad**
"The gentle sweetness of cow's
milk and honey mushrooms.
**[04:03] dad**
One spoonful will reinvigorate
any exhaustion."
**[04:07] som**
Sounds so good! What else does it say?
**[04:11] dad**
Beef stew with wicca wine.
**[04:14] dad**
"The stimulating aroma
of rich wine will bring sighs
**[04:17] ---**
of contentment from the
most discerning palate."
**[04:22] dad**
Baked horned rabbit.
**[04:26] dad**
Cactus thorn and pork egg drop soup.
**[04:29] dad**
Sandshark eastern-style pila—
**[04:32] som**
I'm so hungry now.
**[04:36] dad**
You ate dinner recently.
**[04:38] som**
Yeah, but...
**[04:41] som**
I just wanna eat some food you make.
**[04:50] dad**
I cannot guarantee its quality.
**[04:52] som**
Dad!
**[05:01] som**
There's food in there!
**[05:03] dad**
Preserved foods.
**[05:07] dad**
We are borrowing their food.
**[05:09] dad**
I will leave money for that,
as well as for our lodging expenses.
**[05:12] som**
Okay!
**[05:14] som**
Coarse-ground flour,
baking powder, and butter.
**[05:18] som**
For cow's milk, we will use a powdered
version intended for travel.
**[05:21] som**
For eggs, wild bird eggs
gathered from the local trees.
**[05:25] som**
For sugar, I will substitute
baum sugar from the shelves.
**[05:28] som**
What are you making with all that?
**[05:31] dad**
It is referred to here as
"coarse flour souffle."
**[05:34] som**
Is it cake?!
**[05:36] dad**
It may be a similar product.
**[05:38] som**
I bet cake is even better at night...
**[05:43] dad**
Shall we begin?
**[05:44] som**
I'll help!
**[05:54] dad**
First, we must separate
the yolks from the eggs.
**[05:57] dad**
We add baum sugar to the yolks
**[05:59] dad**
and mix well.
**[06:02] dad**
We add half of the flour to
the baking powder and mix.
**[06:05] dad**
We dissolve the powdered milk in water,
**[06:07] dad**
add the remaining flour,
**[06:09] dad**
and blend thoroughly.
**[06:13] som**
Hey, Dad!
**[06:15] som**
Are we using the rest of
the eggs? Can I eat them?
**[06:19] dad**
The consumption of raw eggs is dangerous.
**[06:21] dad**
And they will be used in the recipe later.
**[06:24] som**
Aww...
**[06:28] dad**
The next step is...
**[06:31] dad**
Add a small amount of baum
sugar to the egg whites,
**[06:34] dad**
then whip until fluffy and cloud-like.
**[06:38] som**
Cloud-like?
**[06:41] dad**
I will mix it and see.
**[06:52] dad**
What do you think?
**[06:54] som**
It looks like a cloud!
**[06:56] som**
You did a good job, Dad!
**[06:58] dad**
We now add this to the earlier batter,
**[07:02] dad**
and mix carefully, preserving the foam.
**[07:05] dad**
Line a mold with butter,
**[07:07] dad**
sprinkle it with sugar,
then pour in the batter.
**[07:14] dad**
After baking in the oven for seven turns
of the hourglass, it will be complete.
**[07:25] som**
Dad?
**[07:27] dad**
Yes?
**[07:29] som**
I'm so glad you're my dad.
**[07:35] dad**
Are you?
**[07:37] som**
Uh-huh.
**[07:59] dad**
Somali.
**[08:02] dad**
Somali.
**[08:05] som**
Dad?
**[08:07] dad**
It is complete, Somali.
**[08:11] som**
It looks so good! Can I eat it?
**[08:14] dad**
If you wish.
**[08:15] dad**
But exercise caution so
you are not burned.
**[08:17] som**
Okay!
**[08:32] dad**
How is the taste?
**[08:38] dad**
What is the matter?
**[08:39] dad**
Was an egg shell left inside?
**[08:41] som**
No... it's so good, I couldn't help but cry.
**[08:49] dad**
An exaggerated response.
**[08:50] som**
It's not exaggerated!
**[08:53] som**
I'm really happy I got to eat
the first thing you ever cooked!
**[08:59] dad**
Are you?
**[09:00] som**
Yeah!
**[09:02] dad**
It will cool quickly.
**[09:04] dad**
Eat it while it remains hot.
**[09:05] ---**
Okay!
**[09:18] som**
Dad...
**[09:19] dad**
Quiet.
**[09:21] dad**
Keep your voice down.
**[09:41] yaba**
Excuse me.
**[09:42] yaba**
Could we ask for shelter for the—
**[09:47] dad**
You...
**[09:48] shi**
Hold on! Is that you, Mr. Golem?
**[09:51] shi**
So that means...
**[09:53] som**
Shizuno! Yabashira!
**[09:56] shi**
What a lifesaver!
**[09:59] shi**
Spending a night out in rain like that
is a surefire way to catch a cold.
**[10:03] som**
It's been such a long time, Shizuno!
**[10:05] shi**
I think you've grown since
I last saw you, Somali.
**[10:08] som**
Really?!
**[10:09] shi**
Oh, yeah.
**[10:10] shi**
You're such a big girl now.
**[10:12] shi**
I sure am glad to see you again!
**[10:14] som**
Yeah!
**[10:15] som**
We've got a bond!
**[10:17] yab**
Bond?
**[10:19] dad**
She seems to have certain
opinions on that subject.
**[10:22] som**
Yeah, I do!
**[10:27] som**
Dad made it for me!
**[10:30] yab**
Hey, not bad.
**[10:32] dad**
It was simply a matter of
following instructions.
**[10:35] shi**
Isn't that great? He kept his promise!
**[10:38] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:39] shi**
Say, you mind if we have some?
**[10:42] dad**
I do not object.
**[10:43] yab**
Then let's eat it together!
**[10:45] som**
Yeah, let's eat!
**[10:48] yab**
What's the matter?
**[10:49] som**
Oh, um...
**[10:51] som**
I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed now!
**[10:54] som**
See you tomorrow!
**[11:04] som**
What do I do?
**[11:08] som**
My tooth's all wiggly...
**[11:21] shi**
Here!
**[11:22] shi**
Want one, Somali dear?
**[11:24] som**
No, not right now!
**[11:27] shi**
You've seemed a little listless today.
**[11:29] som**
R-Really?
**[11:31] som**
I'm totally normal!
**[11:39] yaba**
Is that it?
**[11:41] dad**
That is Bygone City?
**[11:43] yaba**
It'd be nice to find lodging in another city,
**[11:47] yaba**
but I hope you'll bear with us.
**[11:48] shi**
We need to restock, anyway.
**[12:02] dad**
This city has a rather savage air.
**[12:06] yaba**
You get thieves and pickpockets
everywhere here in the lawless reaches.
**[12:09] yaba**
It's a hive of black markets full of
poached and smuggled items, too.
**[12:15] shizu**
Hardly a place for a pacifistic
man of culture like myself.
**[12:19] dad**
Why did you come to this city, then?
**[12:23] shi**
I heard that the greatest practitioner
from the dentician city of Chewton
**[12:27] ---**
was taking a trip here.
**[12:29] shi**
I was hoping I could learn
some things from him!
**[12:33] som**
Dentician?
**[12:35] yam**
They sort of fix toothaches...
**[12:37] yam**
It's a doctor who specializes
in teeth, I guess.
**[12:42] dad**
I have read of this phenomenon.
**[12:45] dad**
Generally speaking, a damaged
tooth would have to be pulled.
**[12:51] som**
Pull my... tooth?
**[12:53] shi**
One, two, three!
**[12:56] shi**
Come on, let's go!
**[13:02] shi**
There it is!
**[13:04] shi**
That's the place!
**[13:09] shi**
Coming in!
**[13:11] shi**
How strange. No one's here.
**[13:14] sowa**
Excuse me!
**[13:16] sowa**
I dunno who you are, but ya
better watch your step!
**[13:21] dad**
I hear a voice, but I see no one present.
**[13:25] sowa**
I'm here! Right here!
**[13:27] sowa**
Sheesh. What good's having
eyes if ya don't use 'em?
**[13:32] sowa**
The name's Sowak.
**[13:33] sowa**
I'm hydromys clan, if it
weren't obvious enough.
**[13:36] shi**
Dentician is a profession reserved for your
clan because of its diminutive size, isn't it?
**[13:41] so**
Yeah!
**[13:42] so**
'Cause we gotta go inside the mouths
to fix the messed-up teeth.
**[13:47] som**
You go inside the mouths?
**[13:50] sow**
Now! You wanna hear how I work, do ya?
**[13:54] shi**
Absolutely!
**[13:55] sow**
Cheeky little kid.
**[13:57] sow**
Open those ears and listen close, now!
**[14:00] sow**
First, I secure the patient's
mouth. Then I go inside!
**[14:04] shi**
That's an impressively vivid starting image!
**[14:06] sow**
Then I carefully examine
the teeth from within.
**[14:11] sow**
If I find a cavity-ridden tooth,
I shave down the damaged area!
**[14:17] sow**
Then I apply medicine and add a cap.
**[14:20] ---**
There are two kinds of caps: one made
of transparent sap mixed with medicine,
**[14:24] ---**
and one made of silver designed
to look like a tooth.
**[14:29] ---**
If I had to drill a big hole,
I use the sturdy silver cap.
**[14:31] ---**
For a small hole, I use the sap cap.
**[14:34] ---**
But if it's in *really* bad shape...
**[14:35] ---**
I'll hafta yank it out from the root!
**[14:39] ---**
If I get you treated early,
it probably won't be too bad.
**[14:44] ---**
But if it's too late,
there's no other option.
**[14:47] ---**
So take care of your teeth, folks!
**[14:49] ---**
Once you lose 'em, they never grow back!
**[14:55] shi**
Say, is anyone hungry?
**[14:57] yaba**
We can eat after we secure our lodging.
**[15:00] shi**
Aww...
**[15:01] dad**
Somali.
**[15:02] som**
Wh-What?!
**[15:04] dad**
Your behavior today has
shown signs of aberrance.
**[15:07] dad**
Has something happened?
**[15:09] dad**
Is it your mouth? Let me see it.
**[15:12] som**
It's n-n-nothing!
**[15:15] dad**
Somali.
**[15:16] som**
*It's too late. The tooth's gonna come out!*
**[15:18] som**
*What do I do?!*
**[15:23] man**
That hurt!
**[15:26] man**
What's your problem, kid?
**[15:31] dad**
Are you all right, Somali?
**[15:33] man**
You're the kid's guardian, huh?
**[15:35] man**
You'd better pay us for that insult.
**[15:38] man**
1,000 monee each should cover it.
**[15:42] dad**
I lack that amount.
**[15:44] man**
You don't get how this works, do you?
**[15:46] man**
Give us what you've got, then.
**[15:48] man**
This is a place where
might makes right, y'see.
**[15:52] yaba**
I see. Is that how it works?
**[15:55] yaba**
In that case...
**[15:58] man**
H-Hey! What are you—
**[16:01] dad**
You said that might makes
right here, did you not?
**[16:03] man**
Hey, wai—
**[16:08] man**
Damn! You wanna start something?
**[16:10] yama**
Just adapting to the local customs!
**[16:16] man**
I can take that little one...
**[16:18] shi**
Step back, Somali.
**[16:20] som**
Okay!
**[16:32] man**
You little ru—
**[16:38] shi**
Better luck next time!
**[16:40] man**
You'll pay for this!
**[16:41] yaba**
Yeah, yeah.
**[16:43] dad**
Somali.
**[16:45] dad**
What is the matter?
**[16:47] dad**
Were you harmed?
**[16:48] som**
Dad...
**[16:50] som**
My tooth... came out!
**[16:54] dad**
What did you say?
**[16:55] som**
What do I do?
**[16:57] som**
The guy said... it'll never grow back...
**[17:03] shi**
Say, are you sure it's not a baby tooth?
**[17:07] dad**
A baby tooth?
**[17:11] sowa**
Is that what's got you
both in such a tizzy?
**[17:15] dad**
I had no knowledge of the
replacement of a child's teeth.
**[17:18] sowa**
Don't worry, now.
**[17:20] sowa**
You've got fine dentition,
and no signs of damage.
**[17:22] sowa**
Just wait a while, and a new
tooth'll grow in its place!
**[17:27] sowa**
Oh, I know!
**[17:31] dad**
What is this?
**[17:32] sow**
A practice amongst us denticians.
**[17:34] sow**
Some folks like to keep the
baby teeth as a memento.
**[17:37] sow**
You can have it.
**[17:40] dad**
Unfortunately, we are travelers.
**[17:42] dad**
It is necessary that we travel light.
**[17:44] so**
Oh, really?
**[17:46] so**
Then I can take the tooth—
**[17:49] dad**
No...
**[17:51] dad**
Perhaps I will take it, after all.
**[17:57] dad**
As a memento.
**[17:59] som**
Yeah!
**[18:05] shi**
You see all the little holes in the disk?
**[18:08] shi**
That's how many teeth you have left to lose.
**[18:12] som**
I can't wait to fill them all in!
**[18:15] dad**
Indeed.
**[18:17] yaba**
But what's wrong with this place?
**[18:19] yaba**
I can't find a single vacancy anywhe—
**[18:22] man**
Been looking for you.
**[18:24] man**
The ones who beat up that
band of young fellas...
**[18:27] man**
It was you guys, right?
**[18:31] yaba**
Never a moment's peace.
**[18:34] gol**
Do you require something from us?
**[18:39] man**
I tell you, it was quite the show!
**[18:44] man**
Seems you're having trouble
finding lodging for the night.
**[18:48] man**
I'll give you a place to stay.
**[18:51] man**
In exchange, could I ask for your help?
**[18:55] dad**
Please explain.
**[18:56] man**
I run an inn, see.
**[18:59] man**
But it becomes a real struggle
during the snowcrossing.
**[19:02] som**
Snowcrossing?
**[19:07] man**
See? It's coming down now!
**[19:09] man**
The weather's pretty extreme
in this part of the world.
**[19:13] man**
For a good week, snow falls like
water from an overturned cistern.
**[19:18] man**
We call it the snowcrossing.
**[19:21] man**
Bygone's never exactly a safe place to be,
**[19:24] man**
but in snowcrossing season, we get more
travelers, and things get tougher.
**[19:28] man**
Quarrels between travelers,
thefts, deadbeats...
**[19:32] man**
And so!
**[19:34] man**
I'd like to ask you fine
fellas to be my bodyguards.
**[19:39] yaba**
Bodyguards?
**[19:41] man**
Not for free, obviously.
**[19:43] man**
I have a little place on the edge of town.
**[19:46] man**
I'll let you use it as a lodging.
**[19:49] man**
It's much safer than the inns in town,
**[19:51] man**
and I won't charge you for the stay.
**[19:54] man**
Not a bad deal, eh?
**[20:00] shi**
A nice little house, and well-kept, at that.
**[20:03] yaba**
Bodyguarding really isn't my bag, though.
**[20:06] dad**
A promise is a promise.
**[20:08] dad**
Beginning tomorrow, we must work
together to guard the innkeeper.
**[20:12] yaba**
I hear you.
**[20:32] shi**
How is she?
**[20:34] dad**
Sudden cold spells tend to
trigger sneezing fits in her.
**[20:38] dad**
Her young body seems highly
susceptible to the cold of the snow.
**[20:41] shi**
You really know her well, huh?
**[20:46] yaba**
Okay, the breakfast prep is done.
**[20:50] yaba**
I'm going to get some rest
in preparation for tomorrow.
**[20:55] gol**
Yes.
**[20:56] shi**
Goodnight!
**[21:05] shi**
Say...
**[21:08] shi**
I've been wondering.
**[21:11] shi**
Somali...
**[21:13] shi**
She's...
**[21:15] shi**
human, isn't she?
**[21:20] dad**
How long have you known?
**[21:22] shi**
From the moment we first met,
I felt something was off.
**[21:26] shi**
Like the way her blood smelled
when she was injured...
**[21:30] dad**
I see.
**[21:33] shi**
Could I ask a question?
**[21:35] shi**
Why is a golem like you playing
father to a human girl?
**[21:42] dad**
It is not a thing I sought out for myself.
**[21:45] dad**
I believe that, simply,
**[21:49] dad**
on that day, long ago,
**[21:51] dad**
I ceased being simply the
guardian of the forest,
**[21:55] dad**
and acquired the qualities of an individual.
**[21:59] dad**
As a father to protect her.

A human child?

Dad.

Dad!
**[01:53] shizu**
"Dad."
**[01:54] shizu**
Is that what Somali said?
**[01:58] dad**
Yes.
**[02:00] dad**
Even now, I do not know why.
**[02:01] dad**
A self-preservation instinct
of some kind, perhaps.
**[02:04] dad**
However...
**[02:06] dad**
That day, in that forest,
she called me her father.
***SIGN*** Episode 10
The Infant Child and the Green Fortress
**[03:58] (Flashback) dad**
Human, you must leave this place.
**[04:01] (Flashback) dad**
Outsiders do not belong in this forest.
**[04:05] (Flashback) som**
Dad...
**[04:07] (Flashback) dad**
I am not your father.
**[04:09] (Flashback) dad**
Cease your pursuit and leave this forest.
**[04:42] (Flashback) som**
Dad...
**[04:50] dad**
* I must not intervene in*
* the affairs of outsiders.*
**[04:53] dad**
*The human child will starve to death. Or...*
**[05:10] dad**
* No. The child does not*
* fall within my oversight.*
**[05:13] dad**
*My duty is simply to oversee the forest.*
**[05:21] (Flashback) som**
Dad!
**[05:30] (Flashback) som**
I found you, Dad!
**[05:35] (Flashback) dad**
You are forbidden to pursue me further.
**[05:38] (Flashback) dad**
If you attempt to approach me again,
I shall compel your removal myself.
**[05:43] (Flashback) dad**
You must leave this forest at once—
**[05:52] (Flashback) dad**
Eat.
**[05:54] (Flashback) dad**
You do not fall within my standard oversight.
**[05:57] (Flashback) dad**
Ingest that, and then depart.
**[05:59] (Flashback) som**
Ingest?
**[06:01] (Flashback) dad**
Eat.
**[06:12] (Flashback) som**
So good!
**[06:14] (Flashback) dad**
Is it?
**[06:16] (Flashback) dad**
Human child,
**[06:18] (Flashback) dad**
it is clear that you do not
wish to leave the forest.
**[06:21] (Flashback) dad**
I request that you state
your reason for this.
**[06:25] (Flashback) som**
They said it was scary
outside, and I shouldn't go.
**[06:30] (Flashback) dad**
Who issued this order?
**[06:32] (Flashback) dad**
What is your point of origin?
**[06:35] (Flashback) dad**
What is your name?
**[06:37] (Flashback) som**
I dunno...
**[06:39] (Flashback) dad**
This line of inquiry appears futile.
**[06:42] (Flashback) dad**
Then where are your parents—
**[06:44] (Flashback) som**
Dad!
**[06:47] (Flashback) dad**
That title is incorrect.
**[07:54] (Flashback) som**
So pretty!
**[07:57] (Flashback) dad**
I cannot comprehend that sentiment.
**[07:59] (Flashback) som**
Comprehend?
**[08:01] (Flashback) dad**
I understand the meaning of the words,
**[08:03] (Flashback) dad**
but I cannot empathize with them.
**[08:07] (Flashback) dad**
A guardian only acts in accordance with its
determined tasks, and oversees the forest.
**[08:12] (Flashback) dad**
It exists only to serve the forest.
**[08:17] (Flashback) som**
You aren't lonely?
**[08:19] (Flashback) dad**
Golems lack emotions.
**[08:22] (Flashback) dad**
Therefore, I exist in the
forest alone for perpetuity.
**[08:25] (Flashback) som**
You're not alone!
**[08:27] (Flashback) som**
I'll be with you forever!
**[08:44] (Flashback) dad**
Remain still.
**[08:57] (Flashback) dad**
The rattling of the chains
will alert the animals.
**[09:04] (Flashback) som**
Thanks!
**[09:06] (Flashback) dad**
Such words are unnecessary.
**[09:09] (Flashback) dad**
I will now go to catch fish.
**[09:19] (Flashback) som**
Dad?
**[09:22] (Flashback) dad**
Yes?
**[09:27] (Flashback) som**
Stop!
**[09:44] (Flashback) som**
Let go! Let go!
**[09:50] (Flashback) dad**
Why did you jump in?
**[09:52] (Flashback) som**
Because... your arm!
**[09:55] (Flashback) dad**
It merely fell loose. It is not a—
**[09:58] (Flashback) som**
No!
**[09:59] (Flashback) som**
I don't want you to break apart, Dad!
**[10:02] (Flashback) dad**
Enough.
**[10:04] (Flashback) dad**
That part was not fused with me to begin with.
**[10:07] (Flashback) dad**
You must reflect on how
close you came to drowning.
**[10:10] (Flashback) dad**
Your actions were entirely pointless.
**[10:16] (Flashback) som**
I'm sorry...
**[10:27] (Flashback) dad**
Why am I...
**[10:31] (Flashback) dad**
I have little time remaining.
**[10:34] (Flashback) dad**
After I disappear,
**[10:36] (Flashback) ---**
the chance that the human will survive
in the forest alone is extremely low.
**[10:44] (Flashback) dad**
Which means...
**[10:47] (Flashback) som**
Leave the forest?
**[10:49] (Flashback) dad**
Yes. I will return you to the humans.
**[10:53] (Flashback) dad**
We can depart now,
while it is the warm season.
**[10:56] (Flashback) dad**
And one more thing.
**[10:58] (Flashback) dad**
Your name...
**[11:01] (Flashback) som**
Kitty!
**[11:03] (Flashback) dad**
No.
**[11:04] (Flashback) dad**
That creature's name is Komidori-Somali,
"Steeped-in-Viridian."
**[11:07] (Flashback) dad**
It is the one that first found you.
**[11:12] (Flashback) dad**
"Somali."
**[11:15] (Flashback) dad**
I will name you after that creature,
and henceforth call you Somali.
**[11:20] (Flashback) som**
Somali?
**[11:22] (Flashback) dad**
Yes. You are Somali.
**[11:27] (Flashback) som**
Okay! Got it!
**[11:32] dad**
That is how I came to know Somali,
**[11:35] ---**
and why we embarked on our journey.
**[11:40] shi**
Say, Mr. Golem...
**[11:42] shi**
How much longer do you have now?
**[11:47] shi**
If you'll allow it, I'd like to see
the current state of your body.
**[11:55] gol**
Understood.
**[12:05] gol**
This is all of my outer skin that remains.
**[12:09] gol**
Cracks are forming on my inner flesh,
**[12:11] gol**
and fluid is seeping out.
**[12:14] gol**
A month ago, my joints began to creak.
**[12:18] gol**
When my body at last breaks down,
**[12:22] gol**
I hope that you will look after Somali.
**[12:25] shi**
I can do that.
**[12:27] shi**
But are you sure that's what you want?
**[12:30] shi**
Did you come this far with a failing body
**[12:34] shi**
purely out of a sense of duty?
**[12:37] dad**
Having traveled with Somali, I now know.
**[12:41] dad**
My reasoning from the beginning was clear.
**[12:45] dad**
I simply wished to see more of her smile.
**[12:52] shi**
Then you can't just give up.
**[12:56] shi**
You really want to keep
watching over her, don't you?
**[13:02] shi**
So... you know?
**[13:21] shi**
Morning!
**[13:23] yab**
Hey.
**[13:23] shi**
Boy, it's cold!
**[13:26] shi**
Maybe I'll sleep in a little longer.
**[13:29] yab**
At least have a little
dignity in the morning.
**[13:32] yab**
Have some tea and wake yourself up.
**[13:38] shi**
Is today the day we start doing
bodyguard stuff at the inn?
**[13:41] dad**
Yes. The promise was for seven days.
**[13:44] yab**
We'll be dealing with some
pretty rough customers.
**[13:47] yab**
We'll handle this ourselves.
**[13:49] yab**
I made some food, so eat
it when you get hungry.
**[13:52] yab**
And after you eat,
clean your room. Don't forget.
**[13:55] shi**
Fine.
**[13:57] dad**
I would typically prefer to stay home, but...
**[14:01] shi**
Don't you worry!
**[14:03] shi**
I'll look after Somali!
**[14:08] dad**
Somali is willful and foolhardy.
**[14:11] dad**
She will charge straight for
anything that catches her interest.
**[14:15] dad**
Take care that she does not
fall or run into anything.
**[14:18] shi**
M-Mr. Golem...
**[14:20] dad**
Regarding her tastes,
she dislikes bitter vegetables.
**[14:25] dad**
However, their high nutritional content
means that you cannot compromise on—
**[14:29] yab**
I think that's enough.
**[14:31] yab**
Boy, talk about overprotective.
**[14:33] dad**
But...
**[14:35] shi**
Don't you worry!
**[14:36] shi**
The great Shizuno will
take care of everything!
**[14:39] shi**
Go on! See you later!
**[14:45] dad**
I am concerned.
**[14:57] som**
Morning...
**[15:04] som**
Shizuno! Did you see all that snow?
**[15:07] som**
Dad!
**[15:09] som**
Huh?
**[15:10] shi**
They went off to work.
**[15:13] som**
Oh, right!
**[15:14] som**
They're bodyguarding!
**[15:16] shi**
Right!
**[15:17] shi**
So you're home with me for the day.
**[15:19] shi**
Now, let's have breakfast together!
**[15:23] both**
Down the hatch!
**[15:28] shi**
What do you want to do after breakfast?
**[15:32] som**
I want to... um...
**[15:37] som**
I can't think of anything!
**[15:39] som**
Usually I just play with Dad...
**[15:41] shi**
I see!
**[15:43] som**
I know!
**[15:44] som**
I wanna make a thank-you present for Dad!
**[15:48] shi**
What a great idea!
**[15:50] som**
But don't tell him, okay?
**[15:54] shi**
I won't!
**[15:55] som**
Present! Present!
**[15:59] som**
Makin' a present for Dad!
**[16:03] som**
The present is...
**[16:07] som**
Done!
**[16:13] shi**
All finished with your portrait of him?
**[16:15] som**
It's too hard.
**[16:17] shi**
I think it's pretty good, myself.
**[16:20] som**
It's gotta be better than just good!
**[16:21] som**
It's gotta be totally perfect!
**[16:24] som**
Okay, I'll make something else!
**[16:26] shi**
Like what?
**[16:31] shi**
Let's think it over while we clean.
**[16:34] som**
Okay...
**[16:40] dad**
We have returned.
**[16:43] som**
Welcome home, Dad!
**[16:45] yab**
Well, isn't that a dramatic welcome?
**[16:49] som**
It's not!
**[16:52] dad**
I see.
**[16:53] dad**
This was my first time being
away from you for so long.
**[16:57] som**
Yeah...
**[16:58] yab**
I get it now.
**[17:00] yab**
Makes total sense.
**[17:04] yab**
But boy, that was a rough time.
**[17:06] yab**
I figured we'd break up
fights between patrons,
**[17:09] yab**
but we had to deal with pickpockets
and dine-and-dashers, too.
**[17:12] yab**
Good thing there were two of us!
**[17:14] yab**
I couldn't have handled it all on my own.
**[17:16] shi**
But we did get paid for our trouble,
**[17:20] shi**
so I guess it was all worth it!
**[17:23] yab**
That's not up to *you.*
**[17:25] dad**
I am reminded.
**[17:26] dad**
The innkeeper said he would
send supplies here tomorrow.
**[17:30] shi**
Supplies? Like food, you mean?
**[17:33] yab**
Yeah.
**[17:34] yab**
It'd be pretty hard to go
shopping in the snow like this.
**[17:37] yab**
So it's definitely appreciated.
**[17:40] dad**
Please receive them.
**[17:42] som**
Got it!
**[17:44] yab**
That reminds me...
**[17:46] yab**
Your cleaning was pretty half-baked today.
**[17:49] yab**
Do a better job tomorrow.
**[17:52] dad**
And you must contribute, Somali.
**[17:55] both**
Got it...
**[18:05] som**
A present...
**[18:07] shi**
What would be good?
**[18:13] shi**
Are you all right, Somali?
**[18:15] som**
I was thinking too hard...
**[18:18] shi**
That's it!
**[18:21] shi**
We have everything we need,
so let's knit something out of yarn!
**[18:25] som**
But I don't know how to knit...
**[18:28] shi**
Don't worry! I'll teach you!
**[18:32] som**
O-Okay! I'll try!
**[18:35] som**
What do I make, though?
**[18:37] shi**
Good question...
**[18:40] shi**
That must be the supplies.
**[18:42] shi**
Hello ther—
**[18:45] roz**
Oh, how charming!
**[18:47] roz**
Are you the little child they told me about?
**[18:50] shi**
Er... I'm an adult, actually.
**[18:54] shi**
The "little child" would probably be her.
**[18:57] roz**
Oh, pardon me.
**[18:59] roz**
I'm the innkeeper's wife, Rosa.
**[19:02] roz**
Call me Auntie Rosa, please.
**[19:07] som**
You're giving us all this stuff?
**[19:10] rosa**
Of course!
**[19:11] rosa**
Your friends were a big help
to my husband yesterday.
**[19:15] rosa**
So eat up, by all means.
**[19:17] rosa**
Oh? Are you knitting something?
**[19:21] shi**
We're making a present for Somali's father.
**[19:24] som**
But I can't think of what to make.
**[19:28] rosa**
In that case... how about a fita band?
**[19:34] som**
So pretty!
**[19:36] rosa**
Fita bands are commonly sold as souvenirs.
**[19:40] rosa**
We sell them at our inn, too.
**[19:42] rosa**
They're also known as "good luck bracelets."
**[19:45] rosa**
You make them to wish good
fortune on the recepient.
**[19:49] som**
I dunno if I can do it, though...
**[19:52] rosa**
Don't worry.
**[19:53] rosa**
There's a simple three-color
braid that even children can do.
**[19:57] rosa**
Now, choose any three colors you like.
**[20:01] som**
Okay... that one and that one!
**[20:04] som**
And... this one!
**[20:10] rosa**
Hold the three colors of yarn together,
then bring the yarn on the right to the center.
**[20:15] rosa**
Then bring the yarn on the left to the top...
**[20:19] rosa**
Then keep taking turns, center to center.
**[20:21] rosa**
Just do that over and over.
**[20:23] rosa**
Well? Simple, isn't it?
**[20:28] rosa**
Now, keep braiding the
threads. Don't rush, now.
**[20:33] som**
Cool! It's working!
**[20:35] shi**
Isn't that great, Somali?
**[20:37] shi**
I'm sure Mr. Golem will be thrilled.
**[20:40] som**
Yeah!
**[20:41] rosa**
The more feeling you put into it,
the stronger the bond will be.
**[20:46] rosa**
So braid with the greatest care!
**[20:48] som**
Okay! I will!
**[20:51] rosa**
Oh, what a good little girl!
**[20:54] rosa**
You!
**[20:56] som**
Hey, that tickles!
**[20:59] shi**
Auntie Rosa!
**[21:02] shi**
Teach me, too!
**[21:05] rosa**
Oh... Certainly.
**[21:07] rosa**
Now, what colors would you like?
**[21:25] dad**
We have returned.
**[21:26] som**
Welcome back!
**[21:27] som**
Take a load off, Yabashira!
**[21:29] yab**
Who taught you to say that?
**[21:34] dad**
You appear to be quite excited.
**[21:37] dad**
Has something happened, Somali?
**[21:39] som**
Nope! Nothing!
**[21:49] hunt**
It's been quite a while.
**[21:52] hunt**
Yeah. That's valuable info.
**[21:55] hunt**
You're not putting one over on us, right?
**[21:57] rosa**
There's no question...
**[21:59] rosa**
That smell was human.

**[00:05] man**
Ow! That hurts!
**[00:07] yab**
Pick a fight somewhere else next time.
**[00:11] yab**
Oh, got that one, too?
**[00:14] dad**
I apprehended a thief in the act.
**[00:20] yab**
Whew. My shoulders are getting
stiff, and my back aches.
**[00:23] yab**
This job'll be the death of me.
**[00:25] dad**
Is that possible?
**[00:28] yab**
I guess a golem wouldn't understand.
**[00:30] rosa**
Goodness gracious me!
**[00:32] rosa**
What a fine set of bodyguards you are!
**[00:36] yab**
Oh, it's you.
**[00:38] yab**
Thanks for the supplies
you delivered before.
**[00:40] rosa**
Not at all.
**[00:41] rosa**
Take all you like.
**[00:44] rosa**
But is this the last day of your job?
**[00:48] dad**
Tomorrow morning, we will
depart for the next city.
**[00:51] rosa**
Does that mean you're
taking the western road?
**[00:55] dad**
That is our current plan.
**[00:57] rosa**
I see.
**[00:58] rosa**
That road's not safe this time of year.
It'll be filled with robbers...
**[01:04] rosa**
Don't you worry, though.
**[01:06] rosa**
I'll show you another route
that only villagers know about.
**[01:10] rosa**
We wouldn't want anything
happening to Somali.

Those Who Protect and Those Who Threaten
**[02:59] shizu**
How's it going, Somali dear?
**[03:01] soma**
Almost done!
**[03:03] shizu**
It must be hard, given how
big Golem's hands are...
**[03:06] som**
It's okay...
**[03:09] som**
It's done!
**[03:10] som**
I finished it, Shizuno!
**[03:12] shi**
Let me see!
**[03:14] shi**
Wow, that looks really good!
**[03:17] som**
You think so?
**[03:18] shi**
Yes, I'm sure Mr. Golem will be very pleased.
**[03:23] som**
I hope Dad comes back soon!
**[03:28] yab**
Food and daily supplies...
**[03:30] yab**
That should about cover it.
**[03:33] dad**
We should not lack for
supplies in the near future.
**[03:37] yab**
And our pay should cover travel expenses.
**[03:41] yab**
Now, if we could just get a wagon...
**[03:44] yab**
What is it?
**[03:48] yab**
Oh, a present for the little miss?
**[03:50] yab**
That's pretty cute.
**[03:52] yab**
It'd be great for her.
**[03:54] dad**
It is perfect.
**[03:56] dad**
I have never seen such wonderfully
protective clothing before.
**[04:00] dad**
Perhaps Somali would like this.
**[04:02] yab**
I don't think that's such a good idea.
**[04:05] gol**
Should I prioritize insulation
over defense, then?
**[04:09] gol**
Or perhaps...
**[04:12] yab**
Never thought I'd see you
stressing over kids' clothing.
**[04:15] dad**
Is it particularly amusing?
**[04:17] yab**
Not really.
**[04:19] yab**
I do kinda like you this way, though.
**[04:23] gol**
Do you?
**[04:35] dad**
We have returned.
**[04:38] som**
Um... Dad?
**[04:40] dad**
Yes?
**[04:41] som**
Um... Um...
**[04:44] som**
This is for you!
**[04:47] dad**
For me?
**[04:48] som**
Yeah!
**[04:51] shi**
It's a present from Somali to you.
**[04:55] yab**
Oh, a fita band?
**[04:58] dad**
Did you make this yourself?
**[05:00] som**
Yeah, I worked on it a little every day!
**[05:04] dad**
Did you?
**[05:10] som**
Is that for me?
**[05:14] dad**
I found it in the market.
**[05:15] dad**
I did not make it myself, I fear.
**[05:20] shi**
Well, well! Like father, like daughter.
**[05:23] shi**
You even think the same way.
**[05:28] som**
It's done!
**[05:30] som**
Now we match!
**[05:31] gol**
Yes.
**[05:35] som**
That makes me really happy.
**[05:37] som**
Thanks a lot, Dad!
**[05:42] gol**
It is I who am grateful.
**[05:46] som**
Okay!
**[05:47] yab**
Well, it's a bit early for dinner,
but I guess I'd better start now.
**[05:53] shi**
Surely you jest.
**[05:54] shi**
I think you're all forgetting
something important.
**[05:57] both**
Something important?
**[05:59] shi**
Yeah! Something important!
**[06:03] som**
Shizuno, that's cold!
**[06:06] yab**
Oh, come on!
**[06:08] yab**
This is your "something important"?
**[06:08] som**
Okay, then! You won't beat me!
**[06:10] shi**
Well, we got so much snow!
**[06:12] shi**
It'd be a waste not to play in it even once.
**[06:13] shi**
Shizuno! Get out from behind there!
**[06:17] som**
You're wide open!
**[06:18] shi**
You'll pay for that!
Take this, and this, and this!
**[06:23] yab**
What a kid.
**[06:24] som**
Shizuno!
**[06:26] dad**
I am grateful to Shizuno for
accompanying Somali while I was away.
**[06:26] shi**
Are you okay, Somali?
**[06:28] som**
I'm not gonna lose!
**[06:29] shi**
Here it comes!
**[06:32] yab**
I just hope she doesn't
pick up his messy habits.
**[06:33] yab**
Hey! Stop!
**[06:36] som**
Dad! You gotta help me!
**[06:39] gol**
Understood.
**[06:40] shi**
What?!
**[06:43] shi**
M-Mr. Golem, that's too much!
**[06:45] som**
That's so cool, Dad!
**[06:50] yab**
Hey! Don't lead him toward me!
**[08:06] hunt**
This way?
**[08:07] hunt**
Just like the tip said.
**[08:09] hunt**
Once we catch it,
we'll split it evenly, right?
**[08:13] hunt**
Don't let it get away.
**[08:15] hunt**
It's our first human in a long time.
**[08:18] dad**
Human?
**[08:20] dad**
Can it be...
**[08:22] yab**
Huh? A human hunt?
**[08:25] dad**
Yes.
**[08:25] dad**
They will arrive here shortly.
**[08:27] yab**
What would they be doing here?
**[08:30] yab**
It can't have anything to do with us.
**[08:33] yab**
We don't have any humans—
**[08:35] shi**
We do.
**[08:36] yab**
Huh?
**[08:37] shi**
There's a human right here.
**[08:42] shi**
The kid? No way...
**[08:47] shi**
I'm going to run away to keep her safe.
**[08:51] shi**
Because she's my friend.
**[08:54] som**
Shizuno...
**[08:56] shi**
Yabashira, what will you do?
**[09:04] yab**
You said you liked my sweets, right?
**[09:09] som**
Uh-huh.
**[09:11] yab**
You want to eat them again?
**[09:14] som**
Yeah...
**[09:15] som**
I want to eat them... with all of you guys!
**[09:20] yab**
More than enough reason to protect someone.
**[09:29] hunt**
Hey, you!
**[09:32] yab**
Don't you know what time it is?
**[09:34] yab**
What a brutish bunch of
late-night visitors...
**[09:37] yab**
Have some tea and calm down.
**[09:39] hunt**
Oni Clan?
**[09:40] hunt**
I heard there was a human in this house.
**[09:43] yab**
Human?
**[09:44] yab**
Gimme a break.
**[09:46] yab**
I think you've been reading
too many old stories.
**[09:50] hunt**
Search every nook and cranny!
**[09:58] hunt**
Nothing here.
**[09:59] hunt**
Where's it hiding?
**[10:01] yab**
See?
**[10:03] yab**
I told you, it isn't here.
**[10:14] hun**
He's going for the human, I bet!
**[10:17] hun**
Follow him! Don't let him get away!
**[10:23] yab**
Now, then...
**[10:27] yab**
Make it through, okay, guys?
**[10:35] som**
It's like a maze in here, Dad.
**[10:39] dad**
An old, abandoned mine.
**[10:40] dad**
I am told it will take us past the mountains
without requiring us to use the city road.
**[10:45] dad**
Yabashira has agreed to meet us at the exit.
**[10:49] som**
You think Yabashira's okay?
**[10:51] shi**
Oh, he'll be fine.
**[10:53] shi**
He knows better than to
be caught that easily.
**[10:56] som**
Really?
**[10:58] shi**
Funny how he thought volunteering as
the decoy would make him seem cool.
**[11:04] som**
Yabashira's super cool!
**[11:06] shi**
Is he?
**[11:08] som**
And he makes good sweets!
**[11:10] som**
And Shizuno, you're funny,
and fun to be around!
**[11:15] som**
You're both my really good friends!
**[11:19] som**
Let's go!
**[11:20] som**
Yabashira's waiting for us!
**[11:23] gol**
What is the matter, Shizuno?
**[11:25] shi**
Nothing. I think I'm just starting
to understand how you feel.
**[11:32] som**
Dad! Shizuno! Hurry!
**[11:36] shi**
I think I would do anything
to protect that smile.
**[11:41] shi**
Somali is a mysterious girl, isn't she?
**[11:45] gol**
Yes.
**[11:55] shi**
We've come rather far in, haven't we?
**[11:58] dad**
There is a stone bridge ahead that
will take us past the ravine.
**[12:01] dad**
After we cross it...
**[12:05] dad**
Hunter approach detected.
**[12:08] dad**
We must run.
**[12:09] shi**
Then you think... Yabashira might...
**[12:13] dad**
They are different hunters this time.
**[12:15] dad**
Let us proceed.
**[12:22] shi**
Oh, no...
**[12:24] shi**
Why?
**[12:27] hunt**
Got 'em! This way!
**[12:29] shi**
How does this keep happening?
**[12:33] dad**
How did they find us?
**[12:35] hunt**
Is that the human?
**[12:37] hunt**
It's pretty small, but it looks tasty.
**[12:43] hunt**
Now, give us the kid!
**[12:46] dad**
Shizuno, be careful not to bite your tongue.
**[13:05] shi**
Stop!
**[13:14] shi**
W-We're alive!
**[13:18] shi**
So cool!
**[13:19] shi**
Dad, you're so cool!
**[13:21] dad**
They will catch up again soon.
**[13:23] dad**
We must hurry.
**[13:25] som**
Okay!
**[13:27] dad**
*Perhaps I used too much power...*
**[13:30] dad**
*The creaking in my body will not cease.*
**[13:45] hunt**
What's the big deal?
**[13:47] hunt**
Humans ain't good for nothing
but selling and eating!
**[13:52] yab**
That's enough out of you.
**[14:02] yab**
That's a bad sign...
**[14:05] yab**
I hope they're all right.
**[14:11] dad**
Are you tired, Somali?
**[14:13] som**
I'm okay!
**[14:15] shi**
Makes sense. It would normally
be your bedtime by now.
**[14:18] shi**
But look! Once we climb these
stairs, we'll be right by the exit.
**[14:22] som**
Okay!
**[14:24] dad**
After we leave, we must find
a place to hide immediately.
**[14:29] shi**
That's true.
**[14:30] shi**
We can reunite with Yabashira, and—
**[14:34] dad**
Who is it?
**[14:36] rosa**
Goodness gracious me!
**[14:39] som**
Auntie Rosa!
**[14:41] rosa**
I completely forgot the bridge
had collapsed, you see,
**[14:45] rosa**
so I came to bring you a new map.
**[14:48] shi**
So that's what happened!
**[14:50] som**
Thank you, Auntie Rosa!
**[14:59] rosa**
The way out is right here.
**[15:02] shi**
Thank goodness!
**[15:04] shi**
What?
**[15:06] gol**
What is this?
**[15:07] shi**
Auntie Rosa?
**[15:14] shi**
Why? Why did you lock us in?
**[15:18] gol**
Release us at once.
**[15:19] ros**
Don't you worry.
**[15:21] ros**
You two will be out very soon.
**[15:24] ros**
But... Somali stays.
**[15:28] som**
How come?
**[15:30] ros**
Because... humans have value, don't you know?
**[15:37] shi**
It can't be...
**[15:39] shi**
You're working with the human hunters?
**[15:43] som**
Dad...
**[15:45] dad**
*I can destroy the cage.*
**[15:48] dad**
* But if I use my power again, it will*
* further reduce my operation time.*
**[15:56] dad**
*I cannot allow it.*
**[15:59] dad**
*I must preserve all the time I can.*
**[16:01] hunt**
Let's get ready.
**[16:03] rosa**
Right.
**[16:08] rosa**
Now, it will take some time until
the preparations are complete.
**[16:13] rosa**
I'll tell you a story you've never heard.
**[16:18] rosa**
Once upon a time...
**[16:20] rosa**
One hundred or two hundred
years ago, perhaps,
**[16:22] rosa**
back when I was still a child,
**[16:25] rosa**
a secret settlement of humans lived nearby.
**[16:29] rosa**
Our villages lived in peace,
never interfering with each other.
**[16:39] rosa**
One day, a human child was
attacked by wild wolves.
**[16:44] rosa**
A kind man from our village caught sight of it.
**[16:49] rosa**
He risked his life to save the child.
**[17:10] rosa**
But...
**[17:17] rosa**
The humans killed him.
**[17:24] dad**
But surely that was a misunderstanding.
**[17:27] rosa**
No, that wasn't the only time.
**[17:31] rosa**
It had happened many, many times before.
**[17:35] rosa**
How could someone be so cruel just
because we were different species?
**[17:41] rosa**
I couldn't understand it.
**[17:44] rosa**
Before long, I learned it was
a word known as "prejudice."
**[17:50] rosa**
And then, the war started.
**[17:52] rosa**
It taught us that some species
simply aren't compatible.
**[17:59] rosa**
Persecution of the humans
would make us safer.
**[18:05] rosa**
We persecuted you, murdered you,
**[18:09] rosa**
sold you, consumed you...
**[18:12] rosa**
And you brought all of it
**[18:13] rosa**
on yourselves.
**[18:18] dad**
Somali!
**[18:18] shi**
Somali!
**[18:20] som**
But... I...
**[18:22] rosa**
Long, long ago, in a land far away...
**[18:29] rosa**
A strange visitor came.
**[18:36] rosa**
The traveler crossed the sea,
**[18:42] rosa**
and saw a person with horns and a tail...
**[18:52] rosa**
"How different they look," they whispered.
**[18:59] rosa**
And so they threw them all in a pot.
**[19:06] rosa**
And then, to season the soup,
**[19:12] rosa**
they ripped up red flowers
and dropped them in.
**[19:22] som**
That's the song Kikila taught me...
**[19:25] rosa**
It's an old children's song.
**[19:28] rosa**
Do you know another word for
something that looks different?
**[19:34] rosa**
"Grotesque."
**[19:36] rosa**
We didn't look like humans, so you
grouped us all under that term.
**[19:41] rosa**
Even though to us, *you*
were the grotesque ones...
**[19:45] rosa**
And that's why we hunt you all equally.
**[19:50] rosa**
Now, enough talk.
**[19:53] rosa**
It's time to cut up the cake!
**[19:56] hunt**
I'll take the eyes.
**[19:58] hunt**
I want the brain. It's the tastiest part!
**[20:00] hunt**
I want the guts. Give 'em to me!
**[20:10] rosa**
All of you protect your share.
**[20:13] rosa**
The meat of children fetches a very high price.
**[20:16] rosa**
Oh, and...
**[20:18] rosa**
Get me the liver, would you?
**[20:22] shi**
It's true that humans in
the past might have sinned.
**[20:25] shi**
But Somali has nothing to do with—
**[20:29] gol**
Shizuno!
**[20:33] hunt**
Now, give us the kid.
**[20:36] gol**
You leave me no choice.
**[20:39] hunt**
What the—
**[20:40] gol**
You will not have Somali—
**[20:50] shi**
Mr. Golem!
**[20:58] hun**
Gave me a scare for a second there.

Dad! Dad!

Get up! Please!

*My body is...*

**[21:12] gol**
*Stop it.*
**[21:13] gol**
*Do not take Somali!*
**[21:15] som**
Dad! Dad!

Stop it! Let me go!
**[21:21] hunt**
Shut up!
**[21:22] som**
Dad! Dad!
**[21:27] hun**
Such a scrawny little neck.
**[21:28] hun**
Looks easy to cut through.
**[21:32] rosa**
What's going on there?
**[21:38] shi**
M-Mr. Golem?
**[21:51] hunt**
What... What the hell is he doing?
**[21:59] som**
Dad?

What do you think you're doing?

What's happened to you?

You can't let her...
**[03:58] yab**
You can't let someone you
love see you like this!
**[04:05] shi**
Yabashira!
**[04:11] dad**
Eliminating target.
**[04:18] shi**
Somali!
**[04:19] yab**
No! Get away from him!
**[04:20] som**
No! I won't!
**[04:23] som**
I don't want you hurting people, Dad!
**[04:29] shi**
Somali!
**[04:31] som**
I'll be okay.
**[04:32] som**
Dad's just...
**[04:36] som**
He's just going to
**[04:38] som**
pat me on the head, like always!
**[04:57] dad**
So... ma... li.
**[05:01] som**
Dad...
**[05:17] som**
Dad...
**[05:20] som**
Dad!

Dad!
**[05:35] dad**
Where am I?
**[05:39] dad**
Somali.
**[05:47] som**
Dad!
**[05:48] som**
Dad, Dad, Dad!
**[05:55] dad**
Somali.
**[05:58] shi**
Thank goodness! You're awake!
**[06:01] yaba**
You didn't move for ages.
We were all worried.
**[06:04] dad**
What have I... done?
**[06:07] yab**
Oh, come on.
**[06:08] yab**
Don't tell me you forgot
that big show you put on.
**[06:12] dad**
The memories remain fragmented.
**[06:16] dad**
Did I cause those injuries?
**[06:17] yab**
Well... kinda.
**[06:20] yab**
It's nothing compared to
what you suffered, though.
**[06:24] dad**
Forgive me.
**[06:26] som**
Dad... will your arm never grow back?
**[06:30] dad**
No.
**[06:31] som**
It doesn't... hurt, does it?
**[06:34] dad**
No.
**[06:36] dad**
I am sorry for frightening you, Somali.
**[06:40] som**
It's okay.
**[06:45] som**
Here.
**[06:47] dad**
Is that...
**[06:48] som**
Give me your hand.
**[07:01] som**
I'm so glad you're okay, Dad!
**[07:18] dad**
*Left arm and 23% of skin lost.*
**[07:23] dad**
*Significant loss of internal fluids.*
**[07:26] dad**
*Daily life functionality reduced to 76%.*
**[07:31] dad**
*Time remaining...*
**[07:38] dad**
*Time remaining... unknown.*
**[07:46] shi**
Somali, dear, they went over there!
**[07:48] som**
I got it!
**[07:54] yab**
You okay over there?
**[07:56] dad**
Forgive me.
**[07:57] yab**
Don't push it too hard.
**[07:59] yab**
You're still recovering.
**[08:00] yab**
Why don't you rest a while?
**[08:03] dad**
It is not an issue.
**[08:04] dad**
I am inconvenienced, but I will
adjust to this body soon.
**[08:09] som**
Dad! Yabashira!
**[08:11] som**
We caught lots of fish!
**[08:13] yab**
Hey, great work!
**[08:20] both**
Down the hatch!
**[08:28] yab**
Hey, guys, don't wolf it down like that.
**[08:30] both**
But it's so good!
**[08:33] yab**
You two...
**[08:35] dad**
Somali frequently becomes
overstimulated in the presence of food.
**[08:40] dad**
I encourage her to exercise
caution, and yet...
**[08:46] dad**
A blockage already.
**[08:51] yab**
Here, drink some water.
**[08:56] som**
Thank you so much!
**[08:57] yab**
That's what happens when you eat too fast.
**[09:00] som**
Okay! I'll be more careful!
**[09:18] dad**
Shizuno.
**[09:24] dad**
I see. You noticed?
**[09:27] shi**
Pretty much.
**[09:31] shi**
So, how's your condition for now?
**[09:39] dad**
Since the incident,
**[09:40] dad**
in addition to the damage
to my internal systems,
**[09:43] dad**
I have noticed irregularities
in my hearing and vision.
**[09:47] dad**
I feel more frequent limitations
in my movement, as well.
**[09:50] dad**
At this rate, I will eventually
cease functioning.
**[09:56] shi**
I see.
**[09:58] shi**
There must be something we can do, though.
**[10:02] shi**
I mean, you still have time, don't you?
**[10:06] dad**
It is unclear.
**[10:09] dad**
Since leaving my forest, I have struggled
in many ways against the natural order
**[10:14] dad**
for the sake of remaining with Somali.
**[10:17] dad**
However, there are things
that I cannot fight.
**[10:21] dad**
That is why I must leave Somali.
**[10:28] shi**
Mr. Golem...
**[10:30] shi**
No matter what decision you make,
**[10:33] shi**
I'll help you in any way I can.
**[10:36] shi**
I made a promise, remember?
**[10:39] shi**
But I'd like you to think it over again.
**[10:44] shi**
Is this really the best decision
for both you and Somali?
**[11:13] yab**
I can see it!
**[11:19] dad**
Somali, pull your hood down low.
**[11:34] shi**
Looks like a lively town.
**[11:42] man**
Welcome, little lady.
**[11:44] som**
Dad! There's all kinds of good stuff here!
**[11:48] dad**
It appears to be some kind of event.
**[11:51] man**
A golem? There's a rare sight.
**[11:54] man**
Travelers, are you?
**[11:55] man**
Welcome to our harvest festival!
**[11:58] yab**
Wow, is it that time already?
**[12:01] som**
Harvest festival?
**[12:03] shi**
It's a festival to thank the
ancestors for a bountiful harvest.
**[12:07] som**
Oh! So that's what a festival is!
**[12:12] som**
Everyone's got a thing!
**[12:14] shi**
Yes, those are wind-rider flowers.
**[12:17] som**
Wind-rider flowers?
**[12:19] man**
Yes, we use them to greet
the souls of our ancestors.
**[12:24] som**
Souls?
**[12:25] shi**
Yes. They're a bit like... ghosts?
**[12:28] som**
I don't like ghosts!
**[12:32] man**
Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of.
**[12:35] man**
They're the souls of our ancestors.
**[12:37] man**
Yes, they're our dear departed families.
**[12:42] man**
See?
**[12:44] man**
That's a perfect breeze.
**[12:52] man**
If you send a wind-rider
flower flying just right,
**[12:55] man**
the light will guide the
spirit of a dead mother
**[12:59] ---**
or father to return to us.
**[13:03] yab**
I think I get it.
**[13:04] som**
Did you know that, Dad?
**[13:07] gol**
An incomprehensible practice.
**[13:09] gol**
All creatures return to
the earth upon their deaths.
**[13:12] gol**
There are no ghosts, and no souls.
**[13:16] gol**
That is the natural order.
**[13:19] som**
Oh, really?
**[13:21] chi**
Grandpa!
**[13:23] man**
What is it, Chi?
**[13:25] chi**
Buy me a toy!
**[13:28] man**
Come on, hurry!
**[13:29] man**
I suppose I'd better.
It's a special day, after all.
**[13:31] man**
Can't say no to the grandson!
**[13:34] chi**
What should we get?
**[13:38] man**
Our time will come, too,
in the not-so-distant future.
**[13:43] man**
But you know, Mr. Golem...
**[13:45] man**
We all believe the same thing.
**[13:48] man**
Death is not the end.
**[13:51] man**
After death, we become souls
**[13:53] man**
that can return to our dear families again.
**[14:00] dad**
I find your wish pointless.
**[14:11] som**
Yum!
**[14:14] som**
Wow! Looks so good!
**[14:17] dad**
Shopkeep. One, please.
**[14:19] man**
Sure thing.
**[14:20] som**
How come?
**[14:21] som**
You usually say no to me
eating lots of good stuff!
**[14:24] dad**
This is a festival. A special day.
**[14:27] som**
Wow! Festivals are cool!
**[14:32] dad**
Is there anything else you desire?
**[14:35] dad**
Meat, or sugar candy?
**[14:40] dad**
What is it?
**[14:42] som**
You're overprotective, Dad.
**[14:45] dad**
Am I?
**[14:46] som**
You are!
**[14:47] yab**
Hey, got a tasty treat, huh?
**[14:51] som**
Dad bought it for me!
**[14:53] shi**
Don't eat too much sweet stuff,
**[14:57] shi**
or you'll get a cavity!
**[15:01] yab**
Hey, looks like a show.
**[15:08] som**
So cool!
**[15:14] yab**
What's wrong?
**[15:16] yab**
Upsy-daisy.
**[15:18] yab**
Here we go.
**[15:19] yab**
Can you see?
**[15:20] som**
Yeah!
**[15:21] som**
Thanks, Yabashira!
**[15:23] shi**
Yabashira! Me too, me too!
**[15:25] yab**
Oh, please! You're an adult!
**[15:28] shi**
Aw, no fair!
**[15:31] som**
Whoa, so cool!
**[15:55] som**
Isn't this fun, Da—Huh?
**[15:58] yab**
What is it?
**[16:01] som**
Dad's not there.
**[16:08] yab**
Doubt he'd get lost, as big as he is...
**[16:14] shi**
Mr. Golem...
**[16:15] shi**
Is this your decision?
**[16:18] yab**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[16:21] shi**
I don't think Mr. Golem is ever coming back.
**[16:25] yab**
Is that some kind of joke?
**[16:27] yab**
It's not funny.
**[16:29] shi**
He's been agonizing for a long time
**[16:30] shi**
over how to use the time he has left.
**[16:33] yab**
Still, he wouldn't just
leave her and run off!
**[16:36] shi**
I wanted to stop him! But...
**[16:40] yab**
Hey!
**[16:41] yab**
Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!
**[17:12] yab**
Dad!
**[17:51] dad**
Somali.
**[17:53] som**
Dad...
**[17:56] dad**
Stop.
**[17:58] dad**
You are forbidden from coming any closer.
**[18:01] som**
Why?
**[18:03] dad**
I can no longer continue
to journey with you.
**[18:09] som**
How come?
**[18:10] som**
Is it because I ate all that candy?
**[18:13] dad**
No.
**[18:14] som**
Then is it because I play
around and don't listen?
**[18:19] dad**
No.
**[18:21] som**
Then... is it because you
don't like me anymore?
**[18:25] dad**
It is not.
**[18:26] som**
Then why?!
**[18:30] som**
Dad! No! I don't want this!
**[18:34] som**
You promised! You promised
we'd be together forever!
**[18:38] som**
Dad! Did you hear me?!
**[18:39] dad**
Somali. Release me, Somali.
**[18:41] som**
You gotta stay with me forever, Dad!
**[18:44] som**
Even when the journey's over,
even when I grow up,
**[18:49] som**
you gotta stay!
**[18:51] dad**
Somali!
**[19:04] dad**
If I lose control again,
I may place you in danger.
**[19:10] dad**
That is why it is better for
you if we part ways now.
**[19:16] som**
No! You don't get it at all!
**[19:20] som**
Because... I'll be lonely without you.
**[19:27] som**
Won't you be lonely without me?
**[19:31] dad**
Golems lack emotions.
**[19:32] som**
Do not!
**[19:33] som**
You have them!
**[19:35] som**
You get all upset when I go missing
the minute you look away.
**[19:41] som**
You get worried when
I catch a cold or get hurt.
**[19:48] som**
Sometimes you act really strict
**[19:51] som**
because you don't want me to be in danger.
**[19:55] som**
When I sleep, you stay by my side,
**[19:58] som**
because you don't want me to get lonely.
**[20:02] som**
You always hold my hand
**[20:06] som**
so that I can always be with you.
**[20:16] som**
I know... that you're actually really nice.
**[20:22] som**
Because...
**[20:24] ---**
you're my dad.
**[20:33] dad**
I, too...
**[20:35] dad**
have emotions
**[20:37] dad**
and a heart.
**[20:41] dad**
Somali.
**[20:46] som**
Dad?
**[20:51] dad**
I...
**[20:54] dad**
I...
**[21:05] dad**
I wish to remain with you, Somali.
**[21:08] dad**
As your father.
**[21:11] dad**
Even if I must struggle against
everything in this world.
**[21:20] som**
Dad...
**[21:22] dad**
That is my one and only wish,
**[21:27] dad**
Somali.
**[21:35] som**
Stay with me forever, Dad.
**[21:41] dad**
Yes.
**[21:43] dad**
Together, forever.
**[21:52] dad**
* For every additional minute,*
* every second I can.*
**[21:57] dad**
*Even if I am reduced to a soul.*
**[22:00] dad**
*For all eternity.*
